Enjoyed @fidmart85 latest LatinxFiles. If there is a part 2, i'd humbly recommend Mae Ngai's Impossible Subjects and Kelly L Hernandez's Migra. Both, I think, would help us get out the continued associated of Mexicans with 'illegality' #AlienCitizenship

Assigned Soccer in American Culture by Edward White in my grad futbol course. It's a new book. There are maybe a total of 4/5 mentions of Mexican/Mexican-American soccer players and they come after a section on Beckham. Thoroughly unimpressed.
