Episode 29 – Orientation

Published on June 15, 2019 in Politics/Remember the Show! by Hector Luis Alamo

Hector gets complicated with Fernando Gonzalez, a school counselor studying for a doctoral degree in educational leadership at DePaul University. Topics include: the term Latinx, patriotism vs. nationalism, consumer culture, raising kids, masculinity, and the commodification of travel.

Hector is the editor and publisher of Enclave. A Chicago writer now floating on the edge of Las Vegas, he is also the former deputy editor for Latino Rebels, as well as the former managing editor for Gozamos, a Latino art-activism site based in his home town. He has contributed to RedEye, a Chicago daily geared toward millennials, and La Respuesta, a New York-based site for the Puerto Rican Diaspora, plus a number of publications, including The Huffington Post. He studied history (for some reason) at the University of Illinois-Chicago, where his focus was on ethnic relations in the United States.
