Héctor Tobar Debunks the Myth of Latino Passivity

Season 2023 Episode 5238 | 18m 06s

A new book explores the Latino experience and identity in modern America. "Our Migrant Souls" by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor Héctor Tobar draws on his own experience as the son of Guatemalan immigrants and what he calls the pain, confusion and pride of being Latino. He talks about fallacies in the conversation on race, harmful stereotypes in the media and teaching Latinx students.
