BARBARA EHRENREICH’S LIFE AND WORK
[[link removed]]
By Gabriel Winant
n+1

Across fifty years of books and no matter the specific subject—from
her coauthored account of the global student uprising in _Long March,
Short Spring _(1969) through her examination of the denial of death
in American culture, _Natural Causes _(2018)—Ehrenreich argued
that the self is made and remade continuously through speech and
action.

The Chartist

Other heated historical differences, like ‘mixed race’, later
became accepted norms or at least considerably diminished areas of
contestation. What about the trans issue?

IS “LATINX” INCLUSIVE?
[[link removed]]
By Melissa K. Ochoa
The Conversation

Most of the debates on the usage of “Latinx” – pronounced
“la-teen-ex” – have taken place in the U.S. But the word has
begun to spread into Spanish-speaking countries – where it hasn’t
exactly been embraced.

WRITE OFF QUIET QUITTING

By Adam D.K. King
Passage

CANCEL CULTURE IS THIS YEAR’
[[link removed]]S

A HIP HOP ICON IN A COLOMBIAN JAIL
[[link removed]]
By David González M.
Latino Rebels

Sergio Pastor’s hip hop is infused with political consciousness. His
first songs at the bus stops had messages of change and awareness in
the face of the harsh reality that he and his fellow Colombians lived
every day. Now he is one of 300 young people incarcerated for crimes
that allegedly occurred during last year’s National Strike.

[[link removed]]
By Tom Junes
Balkan Insight
