Wed Draft Questions - Sarah Yang

1. Martha Gonzalez wrote that she believed that “the strong, mujer-driven tradition on the tarima made it easier for Entre Mujeres participants to interact with one another” when creating their project together (132). What else do you think contributes to the impact that these women have when combining their forces to make art? How does it affect the final result and the significance of the art that they make? 
2. In NPR’s article, Bandleader Daniel Herrera said that “[they] wanted to be able to contribute any little piece of art that we have to this mosaic of social justice.” How/Is art enriched by hardship? How does it affect the viewers, Chicano and of all demographics? 
3. CNN’s article states that the racial gap in the US economy “is making minorities more susceptible to economic hardship during hard times, including the current outbreak”. How is the way the government is treating the minorities and at risk populations during this pandemic going to impact the future? What precedent is it setting? What could the government do to improve? 
4. It is clear that undocumented and unprotected “workers are the backbone of this country in terms of the food supply chain”, according to Reveal News. Is this situation mirrored in any other countries? Are there any examples of other countries dealing with this situation in a better way, and how have they done it?
