To all my CentAm fam on here. My Salvi dad wants to get into literature and I want to give him some novels that are situated in CentAm since I think that will be easiest for him to get into. Any good Spanish Central American novels y’all recommend?

This week, we have a shortened edition of our #newsletter. We gave a well-deserved break to the team for the Easter holidays.

Check out news from all seven nations, a COVID-19 map, and a poem by our very own Migration News Curator @hijodiasporico! ✊🗺️

As of today, I am the first woman of color to have ever been promoted to the rank of full professor in the USC English dept. I promise I will not be the last. Thanks to everyone who wrote for me, mentored me, drank w/ me. It took not only a village, but a world to make it happen.

I’m watching this doc called “When the Mountains Tremble” and all I can say is bless the Indigenous people of Guatemala. If you want to know more about how settler states actively participate in the genocide and oppression of native people in Latin America, this doc is a must
