With the United States of America on a declivitous path to complete failure as a nation, reasonable people seek ways to protect our shared culture, reinforce authentic values, and learn from history, as a way to Resist! the depredations wrought by the deplorables, the GOPees and MAGATs among us.
Learning history, examining issues closely and truthfully, celebrating arte and cultura, are among the modes of resistance that not only comfort people in stressful times, but also build foundations to counter today's emotional barrage from masked goons, alcohol swilling, puppy-killing, well-coiffed liars--the GOP ilk now shredding the US Constitution.
Not long back, Facebook banned mention and links to Latinopia on grounds that Latinopia is "subversive." That's exactly what Klan and MAGATs (but I repeat myself) believe.
Latinopia.com stands for reason, truth, love, and genuine Unitedstatesian values as expressed by diverse raza identities: Latino, Boricua, Chicano, y más.
The website is a labor of love shared with no charge nor subscription movida from author, filmmaker, director, Jesus Treviño. Latinopia.com has served public interest for years. The website's accumulated a vast treasure that students, teachers, researchers, families, you, can spend hours enjoying and learning. If you haven't been following the weekly update, you've lots of catching up!
Treviño has collected insights from important luminaries--many well-known names--in the pantheon of raza writers, artists, scholars, critics. La Bloga-Tuesday is honored to share a few gems from Latinopia's powerfully useful menu of interviews, performances, readings, essays and videos.
Today's La Bloga-Tuesday anthology of Latinopia gems illustrates the range and depth of Latinopia's coverage of nuestra cultura. We provide one video sample, and links to view the content on Latinopia itself. Please click, enjoy, share.
La Bloga values reader comments. When you've reached the foot of the page, you'll find the comment feature. Be sure to click on the Notify Me box to engage in subsequent comments.
(Full disclosure: Michael Sedano enjoys close association with Treviño and Latinopia as a contributor and roadtripper to interview Rudy Anaya, documenting los Librotraficantes, and hosting Living Room Floricantos documented by Treviño for the site.)
