Latina/o/x Migration

The band is back together for a recap of the recent LA BAMBA film screening and a preview of the upcoming symposium featuring Maura Toro-Morn, Karma Chávez, and Fidencio Fifield-Perez.

Show Notes

Darrel Wanzer-Serrano, Ariana Ruiz, and Rene Rocha are recording an episode together for the first time since Episode 2. After some groaning about how the semester is beating us up, we get to work talking about the recent La Bamba film screening, the upcoming Palante, Siempre Palante screening (with filmmaker and former Young Lord, Iris Morales!), and the upcoming Latina/o/x Migration symposium. Check the chapter markers for a detailed list of topics.
