Manifest Destiny That Was Extended
Episode description
On this episode, Yvette interviews Alicia Ivonne Estrada, Karina Alvarado and Ester Hernandez about their anthology “US Central Americans: Reconstructing Memories, Struggles, and Communities of Resistance.” The three Central American scholars share the 19th century US imperialist presence in the isthmus, break down the categorization of Salvadoran and Guatemalan asylum seekers as “economic migrants,” and trace the links between Maya and Nahua-Pipil ethnocides, communist fear-mongering, and the indigenous fight for land rights.
