I am starting a new blog this Monday, one that will address issues of relevance to Latinos - politics (immigration, racism, education, etc), identity (racce, language, assimilation, etc) and culture (art, music, film, etc).
The blog is titled "This Is America, Espeak Spanglish!" and the website is http://espeakspanglish.blogspot.com.
Feel free to subscribe if you are interested.
Gracias!
