Haunted.Yet she'll have no other choice than to seek out his help as the darkness closes in.#horror #horrorauthor #gothic #authorsofinstagram #horrorbooks #writerlife #SundownInSanOjuela #MMOlivas #gothichorror #southwestgothic #horror #horrornovel #horrornovels #horrorbooks  #LFPBooks #queerbooks #transauthor #2024debut #2024debuts #latinehorror

In How Schools Make Race: Teaching Latinx Racialization in America, (Harvard Education PR, 2024) Laura C. Chávez-Moreno uncovers the process through which schools implicitly and explicitly shape their students' concept of race and the often unintentional consequences of this on educational equity. Dr. Chávez-Moreno sheds light on how the complex interactions among educational practices, policies, pedagogy, language, and societal ideas interplay to form, reinforce, and blur the boundaries of racialized groups, a dynamic which creates contradictions in classrooms and communities committed to antiracism. Dr. Chávez-Moreno urges readers to rethink race, to reconceptualize Latinx as a racialized group, and to pay attention to how schools construct Latinidad (a concept about Latinx experience and identity) in relation to Blackness, Indigeneity, Asianness, and Whiteness. The work explores, as an example, how Spanish-English bilingual education programs engage in race-making work. It also illuminates how schools can offer ambitious teachings to raise their students' critical consciousness about race and racialization. Ultimately, Dr. Chávez-Moreno's groundbreaking work makes clear that understanding how our schools teach about racialized groups is crucial to understanding how our society thinks about race and offers solutions to racial inequities. The book invites educators and scholars to embrace ambitious teaching about the ambivalence of race so that teachers and students are prepared to interrogate racist ideas and act toward just outcomes.

Protesters clash with law enforcement in downtown LA. Hundreds march against Trump's immigration sweeps Federal immigration sweeps that began Friday in Los Angeles have prompted anger, protest and resistance from onlookers and immigrant rights groups that have braced for this type of action for months. Over the weekend, tensions continued to rise between state and local authorities and Trump administration officials, who said they were calling up the National Guard in response to what the White House said were "violent mobs" attacking "ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles." Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday afternoon formally asked that President Donald Trump rescind the deployment, which he had ordered Saturday. At an evening news conference, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass said she supported Newsom's request, adding that she had tried to dissuade the Trump administration from sending in soldiers. With files from LAist. Read the full story here.

Shoot us a text!Our sponsors: Arkeogato ToursShop AztlantisGO PREMIUM!The National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies, or NACCS as it is more commonly known, recently held its 50th annual conference. This time in my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Now, for those who are unaware, here's a bit of background and history about the organization as featured on the official NACCS website. “The Association was first named the National Caucus of Chicano Social Scientists from 1972-1973. After the Caucus's first meeting November 17, 1973, at the University of California at Irvine, the members of the steering committee unanimously voted to change the name to the National Association of Chicano Social Scientists (NACSS).In 1976, during the 3rd NACSS Conference participates voted to rename the organization to the National Association for Chicano Studies (NACS).In 1995 during the National Conference in Spokane, Washington, the body unanimously voted to change the name from the National Association for Chicano Studies to the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS).”Its stated mission, once again from the website is:“To advance the interest and needs of the Chicana and Chicano community. To advance research in Chicana and Chicano Studies. To advance the professional interest and needs of Chicanas and Chicanos in the academy.”Now, I found it interesting that the very first sentence of the NACCS's mission statement is to advance the interests and needs of the Chicana and Chicano community. because I, like most members of the Chicana and Chicano community here in Albuquerque, had no idea whatsoever that the conference was even happening in my own city. And not only that, but when I did hear about the conference, I looked into the registration process thinking that I might participate, only to find that the cost of registering for the conference was far too expensive for your average community member. Now with this in mind, I sat down with Dr. Ernesto Todd Mireles of Northern Arizona University and author Scott Russell Duncan of Maiz Poppin Press, Both of whom were in town to attend the conference.Your Host:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is a cultural icon with deep roots in Mexican and Chicano communities across the United States and Mexico, among other places. Artists in New Mexico often reference Guadalupe in their work—including Chicana artist Delilah Montoya.  A mixed-media piece, “La Guadalupana,” by Montoya features a large photograph of the Virgin of Guadalupe as tattooed on the back of an incarcerated man. It is one of the many works of art on display at New Mexico Museum of Art's Vladem Contemporary as a part of their “identity” theme in Off-Center. Katie Doyle, assistant curator at the New Mexico Museum of Art, says Montoya's work fits in with Vladem's exhibition because it tells one of many essential stories about the cultural and historical issues that have continued to affect people in New Mexico.  Mentioned in this Episode:  Gloria Anzaldúa on la Virgen de Guadalupe Off-Center: New Mexico Art, 1970-2000 at New Mexico Museum of Art's Vladem Contemporary La Guadalupana by Delilah Montoya Chicano Awareness Center in Omaha, Nebraska Civil Rights Movement in Omaha, Nebraska National Geographic article about DNA and human ancestry *** We'd love to hear from you!

In this week's episode, I sit down with Professor Laura Chávez-Moreno to chat about her latest book - How Schools Make Race, Teaching Latinx Racialization in America. Laura's work covers how race influences institutions, like schools, and pushes white supremacist ideology. As Latinos, we've all seen who is accepted into honors classes and who is in remedial classes, or which schools get the best books and which ones get the torn-up ones. In this very special interview, Laura shares how the concept of race works to divide us within these institutions in real-time and how we can combat it.  Laura C. Chávez-Moreno is an award-winning researcher, qualitative social scientist, and assistant professor in the Department of Chicana/o & Central American Studies and Department of Education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Her work is at the intersection of education, pedagogy, language, literacy, and ethnic studies.

Indigenous Data Sovereignty: Collective Rights & Responsibility features Dr. Tahu Kukutai (Māori) and Dr.Dr. Desi Small-Rodriguez (Northern Cheyenne and Chicana), with commentary from Dr. Keolu Fox (Kanaka Maoli), in a detailed exploration of the question: What is Indigenous data sovereignty, and what does it truly mean for Indigenous Peoples?Mega corporations now trade data as their primary currency, and while subversive, our Indigenous relatives recognize the extreme consequences and harm that comes from losing control of our stories, and therefore our data. As every action leaves a digital footprint, opting out is not a feasible choice. Around the world, Native communities are addressing these extractive systems, resisting their impacts, and fighting the good fight to create tangible systems to exercise sovereignty and protect Indigenous peoples, lands, and communities.Dr. Dr. Des and Dr. Tahu remind us that the concept of  “individual” data is an illusion. The decisions we make in digital space carry real consequences– not only for ourselves, but also for the land and our communities. For those of us who aren't data scientists or daily activist warriors, this conversation serves as a grounding reminder that we are still part of this fight. Our understanding and ability to discuss these ideas create ripple effects that contribute to the broader movement.From discussing tangible steps to assert our true Tribal sovereignty and self-determination by bringing data servers to Tribal lands, to fighting for law and legislation about accessing existing Indigenous data controlled by the states and governments, or to exploring ways we can use our existing Indigenous frameworks and protocols to humanize the data into stories that are accessible and relevant to our communities, this conversation elevates the realities of the Indigenous data sovereignty revolution and its impacts on our collective contemporary survival. +++Editing & All the things by Teo ShantzEpisode artwork by Ciara SanaFilm work by Francisco SánchezSend us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Anthropologist Jason De León has spent a career documenting the stories of migrants making their way across the Sonoran Desert at the Southern US border. But in his new book, “Soldiers And Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling,” De León turns his gaze towards the smugglers. For nearly seven years, he embedded with a group of smugglers moving migrants across Central America and Mexico, following them as they led people north. We'll talk to him about his book, what he learned from this rare look into this side of the billion-dollar industry and what can be done to address the global migration crisis. Guest: Jason De León, author, “Soldiers And Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling"; director, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology; professor of anthropology and Chicana, Chicano, and Central American Studies, UCLA

Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo is the daughter of Mexican immigrants and the author of Incantation: Love Poems for Battle Sites (Mouthfeel Press) and Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge (Sundress Publications). A former Steinbeck Fellow and Poets & Writers California Writers Exchange winner, she's received residencies from Hedgebrook, Ragdale, Yefe Nof, Jentel, and National Parks Arts Foundation in partnership with Gettysburg National Military Park and Poetry Foundation. Her poem “Battlegrounds” was featured at Academy of American Poets' Poem-a-Day, On Being's Poetry Unbound, and the anthology, Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World (W.W. Norton).

Bermejo crafts poems that celebrate the enduring bonds of family, the unwavering strength of compassion, and the necessity for defiance. "Bermejo's Incantation do more than conjure hope for a vague future; they demand accountability and enact the healing we need now," writes award-winning author Carribean Fragoza. These poems dance like flames in rituals of resistance and resilience, casting light on paths that lead to a future unburdened by the chains of misogyny, white supremacy, and state-sanction violence.
