Please exercise caution when clicking on links or opening attachments. Happy New Year 2023, Friends and Colleagues: I just watched this talk by Juan González<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%...;, author of Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2...;. I was particularly taken by Juan´s critical analysis of DEI, arguably a neoliberal construct, in relation to the anti-Blackness movement and the Latinx experience in the U.S. I believe it is worth considering Juan´s perspectives on DEI and the capitalist and imperialist dynamics that are markedly absent from mainstream DEI discourse. If you are interested, the argument begins at 19:10 minutes or so. Saludos y feliz año nuevo, Cristian.
