Immigration Edition. 

The novel “The World We Saw Burn” tells the story of a Peruvian journalist who returns to Spain to rebuild his life and who investigates the life of another Peruvian, a young man who experienced the issues of migration after he moved to the US and was a witness and actor in major episodes of World War II. The novel explores the impact of migration, the transformation of migrants, the loneliness, isolation and loss that many migrants face, the feeling of uprooting, and the pervasive effects of politics and war.

La Doña. La Doña is an artist, music educator and activist from San Francisco, CA. In her compositions, La Doña combines traditional music like bolero, cumbia and mariachi with contemporary music genres like reggaeton, hip-hop and jazz and as a queer Latina tells stories not often found in the mainstream music industry, with a call for political action. She also talks about her debut album, a collection of songs about pressing issues, including the bombing in Gaza and displacement of Latino neighborhoods.
