THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA: CAN TRUMP REALLY DEPORT MILLIONS? DR. LAURA BARBERENA AND DR. RICARDO ROMO WEIGH IN. BURUNDANGA BORICUA ON POST-ELECTION FIRST AID, LUIS TORRES ON THE TWILIGHT ZONE AS A WAY TO COPE WITH THE AFTERMATH OF THE ELECTION AND DR. RICARDO ROMO ON ENCOURAGING INITIATIVES IN CHICANO ART.
Hola Gente! This week we are still reeling from the election aftermath with two bloggers weighing in on how to go forward. We begin with Dr. Laura Barberena, a political analyst with Viva Politics and Dr. Ricardo Romo, President emeritus of the University of Texas at San Antonio weighing in on the question of Can Trump really deport millions? Dr. Romo reminds us it has happened before in the 1930s but are conditions sufficiently different for it to work again? Check the thoughtful response from Dr. Romo and Dr. Barberena.
José Umpierre cautions us to not lose hope and face the future with optimism. He reminds us that all things pass.This is the Spanish version of last week’s English language posting. Don José’s wisdom in whatever language is imminently inspiring.
Luis Torres has found his own unique way of coping with the disappointment of the Trump victory: he finds solace in the classic television series The Twilight Zone. Torres offers his vision of how to go forward in the post-election era.
And Dr. Ricardo Romo returns with his Tejano Report. This week he looks at promising initiatives in the world of Chicano art.
Okay, folks, it’s time t roll up our sleeves and get to work. We have four years of resistance ahead of us. Adelanta! No se rejen y una sonrisa, por favor!
