Podcast #3--"In My Classroom"--Anjela Villarreal Ratliff

Podcast #3 features Latino Soul author Anjela Villarreal Ratliff, who introduces and reads her story "In My Classroom." Anjela's story gets at the heart of the bilingual/bicultural legacy of Latinos, the struggles around preserving our bicultural birthright, and the common Latino experience of working toward the recovery of cultural identity and pride. Listen to the podcast and hear Anjela's compelling and animated interpretation of her story. And then click here to read my interview with Anjela, where she offers us insights into her craft as a writer, her ideas about Latino storytelling, and some interesting information on the history and current status of U.S. Latinos and language. Check it out!

There are many of us who grew up in that same generation and time when Spanish was not allowed in public schools. It was hard on little children who didn't know any other language, but Spanish. For many, it left deep scars and instilled shame for their Mexican home environment and their culture. Even today, Spanish is not embraced in this country for the beautiful language that it is.
