Episode Details

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, guest Garion Frankel returns to Heard Tell to talk about Latino culture, demographics, "LatinX", and how identity doesn't always fit neatly onto a government form or political/cultural debate. Garion uses his own family's example and explains how the Chicano movement changed not only a region, but a group of people, and his own family. Plus, Garion gets into the political and cultural changes within Hispanics and Latinos in places like the Rio Grande Valley, and why election results like the recent Texas Special Election for the 34th district flipping for the first time 150 years is surprising if you pay attention to facts on the ground in the RVG, and not the "demographics is destiny" rhetoric of past years.
