Ada Ferrer: Keeper of My Kin
Today’s guest on Writing Latinos is Ada Ferrer. Her last book Cuba: An American History, won the Pulitzer Prize. Ferrer is out with a new book titled Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter, published by Scribner. It’s an intimate, devastating, beautifully written account of her family’s migration from Cuba to the United States, and how the Cuban Revolution both broke and made her family. It’s also a meditation on the craft of history itself. Geraldo Cadava reviewed it for The Atlantic. You can read it here: “How Cuban History Broke a Family.” After a long time teaching at NYU, Ferrer recently moved to Princeton, where she teaches history.

Mary Mendoza: Deadly Divide
In this week’s episode of Writing Latinos, we talk with Mary E. Mendoza about her new book Deadly Divide: How Insects, Pathogens, and People Defied the US-Mexico Border, published by The University of North Carolina Press. Mendoza teaches history at The Pennsylvania State University. In Deadly Divide, she blurs the boundary between humans and animals, and borderlands history and environmental history. We talk about the similar ways that humans, ticks, cattle, and lice were racialized. I didn’t even know animals could have racial identities! We also discuss how the US and Mexican governments, and ranchers on both sides of the border, took the same approach to restricting immigration and stopping the spread of animal-borne diseases. This is the rare episode where listeners interested in Latino history and identity can also satisfy their inner science nerd. Thanks for listening!

Xochitl Gonzalez: Last Night in Brooklyn
In this week’s episode of Writing Latinos, we spoke with bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez about her new novel, Last Night in Brooklyn, a magnificent book about gentrification, attachment to place, upward social and economic mobility, and what Gonzalez describes as the “insuperiority complex” many nonwhite Americans experience in predominantly white spaces. She wrote a 21st-century Great Gatsby set in a majority Black and Brown community in Brooklyn. Last Night in Brooklyn is Gonzalez’s third novel, following the widely acclaimed Anita de Monte Laughs Last and Olga Dies Dreaming. We had a blast talking with Gonzalez, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Thanks for listening!
