On the August 10th edition of Wisconsin Public Radio’s University of the Air, CLS Director Theresa Delgadillo shared her research on Latinx life in the Midwest with host Emily Auerbach. The conversation ranged from histories of ethnic Mexican women in Milwaukee to the poetry of Oscar Mireles, the fiction of Fred Arroyo, changing gender roles, labor mobilizations, and the many ways that people of Latin American descent make Midwestern communities their homes. One particular focus was the festivals organized by Latinx communities in the Midwest and the ways those events cultivate solidarity and reciprocity. The two also discussed the evolution of ethnic labels and the significance of terms like “Chicano,” “Chicana,” “Latino,” “Latina,” “Latinx,” and “Latine,” referring to Prof. Delgadillo’s publications Building Sustainable Worlds: Latinx Placemaking in the Midwest and Latina Lives in Milwaukee.
