History, Immigration, and the Mexican-American Experience

Gwendolyn and Rudy welcome Professor/Author Desiree Zamorano (Cal State Long Beach).  We learn about the history of Los Angeles in the 1930s.  What cultural and economic forces brought about mass deportations? What does it mean to be Mexican-American?  How does media reflect ideas about Mexican-Americans?  How do generations of immigants deal with integration and other-ing?  And how can fiction foster a better understanding of the Mexican-American experience?
