This episode has been sponsored by the Mellon Foundation, the Department of Humanities at the UPR-M, and the Instituto Nuevos Horizontes.  This is the second podcast with Ilan Stavans about Latino USA; the first, in Spanish, is available on the New Books Network en español. About the book: In Latino USA, Latin American and Latino scholar Ilan Stavans captures the joys, nuances, and multiple dimensions of Latino culture within the context of the English language. Combining the solemnity of so-called serious literature and history with the inherently theatrical and humorous form of comics, this cartoon history of Latinos includes Columbus, the Alamo, Desi Arnaz, West Side Story, Castro, Guevara, the Bay of Pigs, Neruda, the Mariel boatlift, Selena, Sonia Sotomayor, and much more. To embrace the sweep of Hispanic civilization and its riot of types, archetypes, and stereotypes, Stavans deploys a series of "cliché figurines" as narrators, including a toucan (displayed regularly in books by García Márquez, Allende, and others), the beloved Latino comedian Cantinflas, a masked wrestler, and Captain America. Their multiple, at times contradictory voices provide unique perspectives on Latino history, together creating a carnivalesque epic, democratic and impartial. Updated to bring the book up to the present moment, this twenty-fifth anniversary edition includes thirty new pages of Latino history, from Hamilton to George Santos. Latino USA, like the history it so entertainingly relates, is a treasure trove of irreverence, wit, subversion, anarchy, politics, humanism, and celebration.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Ilan Stavans and Margaret Boyle, authors of “Sabor Judío: The Jewish Mexican Cookbook.”    “The book is a celebration of Jewish Mexican identity, but it also is a celebration of all diaspora identity and how people connect with culture and movement through food,” says Boyle, director of Latin American, Caribbean and Latinx Studies at Bowdoin College and associate professor of Romance Languages and Literatures.    Featuring 100 personal recipes, enjoyed by Mexican Jews around the world, “Sabor Judío” shares the vibrant history of Jewish immigration to Mexico from 1492 to the present. Organized by meal, and including dishes made for Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Hanukkah, Shavuot and other holidays, it connects the past to the present and the future.   “It's really a book about how different generations have migrated with food from one region of the world to another,” Stavans explains. Originally from Mexico, Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor of Humanities and Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College and the publisher of Restless Books.    “The extraordinary story of immigration is that it is never static … and food is [a] wonderful  opportunity to understand those changes,” he says.   The authors spent a decade gathering recipes and personal narratives from Jewish Mexican households. The result: the ultimate comfort food cultural combination.    “Put the [food of the Jewish and Mexican] cultures together, [and] there's so much warmth, you might never stop eating,” Boyle says.   Stavans and Boyle talk about how they met, the evolution of the project, and how they hope people will use their cookbook. They also share food memories, some of their favorite meals, their combined recipe for brisket tacos - which you can find at JewishJournal.com - and more.   Learn more about “Sabor Judio,” Ilan Stavans at RestlessBooks.org and Margaret Boyle on the Bowdoin College website.   For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

Today:We mark one year since Hamas terrorists from Gaza invaded Israel, killing more than 1,000 Israelis, and taking 250 hostage. In the 12 months since, Israel's military response has resulted in more than 40,000 deaths of Palestinians – the majority civilians. We talk with Maya Roman, a relative of one of the hostages, Carmel Gat, who was killed in August in captivity. And, we reflect with Amherst College professor Ilan Stavans about the shared grief for Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large… but we'll also appreciate a little joy. Tomorrow, Ilan publishes his great new Jewish-Mexican cookbook: Sabor Judio.

For this Independence Day: Alexandra Petri, humorist and columnist for the Washington Post and the author of Alexandra Petri's US History: Important American Documents (I Made Up) (W. W. Norton & Company, 2023), talks about our actual history, what we should have learned from it, and her spoof of it in her new book. Andy Read, professor of marine biology and the director of the Duke University Marine Laboratory, talks about why so many beached whales are turning up on the New York and New Jersey coastlines, and why claims from some groups that surveying for wind farms is causing the deaths are untrue. Julia Lee, Korean American writer, scholar, and teacher and the author of Biting the Hand: Growing Up Asian in Black and White America (Henry Holt and Co., 2023), shares her story of racial identity, ally-ship and finding her way while growing up in L.A. as a daughter of Korean American storekeepers at the time of the 1992 riots. Through her own story and those of asylum-seekers, wrongfully convicted inmates, and others, Dina Nayeri, author of The Ungrateful Refugee and her latest, Who Gets Believed?: When the Truth Isn't Enough (Catapult, 2023), examines whose stories are accepted and whose are rejected when the story you tell can determine your fate. Ilan Stavans, publisher of Restless Books and the editor of the anthology The People's Tongue: Americans and the English Language (Restless Books, 2023), talks about the many sources of American English, from Sojourner Truth to Bob Dylan and more.   These interviews have been edited slightly for rebroadcast; the original versions are available here: Having Fun US History (April 12, 2023) Why Whales Are Dying in NY and NJ (May 23, 2023) Julia Lee's Memoir/Manifesto of Being Asian in Black & White America (April 25, 2023) 'Who Gets Believed': Stories of Asylum-Seekers and Others (March 7, 2023) The Many Creators of American English (Feb 17, 2023)
