4/29 draft questions
1. The song, Sobreviviendo, was written to capture the feeling of "a traveler with a divided heart" and the effect of this uprooting on the traveler and the people they left behind (Santos Quote, “Sobreviviendo”: Immigration Stories and Testimonio in Song p.135). How is this theme of physical separating and belonging similar to Maya Jupiter who described a lack of cultural belonging?
2. In Sobreviviendo, "Santos weaves migrant testimonios into lyrical prose that reflect their exodus from their homeland and the daily hardships they face" (Sobreviviendo:ISTS, p. 137). How does utilizing and highlighting testimonio help to de-center subjective Western knowledge of the migrant experience?
3. Musician, Gaby Moreno in collaboration with others, "released the single "The Immigrants" on the Fourth of July to condemn the family separation policy" (Contras,
Protesting Trump's Immigration Policy Through Song). Do you think that this mainstream music adds or subtracts from the legitimacy of the protest and the movement as a whole?
4. During the current COVID-19 epidemic, farmworkers, though deemed essential, have not received proper precautionary measures against infection. One poll found that "more than three-quarters had received no guidance from their employer on safer ways to work" (Campbell, Farmworkers are now deemed essential. But are they protected?). How do these practices escape scrutiny within the US in this day and age?
