Case Summary: Kuvo Radio
SUMMARY: Kuvo Radio was a radio station created in Denver to enhance the presence of their Hispanic community. The founding fathers of Kuvo Radio envisioned that their radio station would one day be a voice for their local Latino community. The purpose of Kuvo Radio was to start a music station that catered toward the Hispanic community of Denver. ISSUE: Kuvo radio leaders “saw the radio station as a vehicle for establishing a voice for the Latino community”. Kuvo radio depended on the donations of its members, instead of commercial sales because it was a “501(c) (3) nonprofit organization and a member of both National Public Radio and Public Radio International.” At

    George Lipsitz would most definitely disagree with this idea. As he pointed out in “Banda: The Hidden History of Greater Mexico,” Latino immigrants experienced many forms of hatred and discrimination in a country more or less thriving by their hard work at low wages, through government processes such as redlining and through the passing of Proposition 187 in 1994. Music can create a political space that allows for public inspiration, unity, and drive for change which is exactly the role banda played in these disenfranchised communities. The solidarity gifted by the banda movement allowed for masses of Mexican workers to come together as a community and mobilize politically, with "nonunion janitors, maids, garment workers, and restaurant employees…

    Narcocorridos Analysis

    It is a reality that the Mexican and American cultures are diverse in many ways. An important aspect of any culture includes its traditions and musical preferences, in this case narcocorridos. However, to further understand the negative perspective of other individuals outside of the parameters of the Mexican and Mexican American society we can elaborate on recent controversy emerging from the American author of the #1 best seller book, “Adios, America!”, Ann Coulter. Coulter in her book attacks the immigration supporting her claims by stating that the democrats and the media cover up immigrants’ crimes. Interestingly, Coulter in a recent interview with Fusion’s Jorge Ramos elaborated on her perspective of Mexican migrants in the United States and stated, “I have a little tip. If you don’t want to be killed by ISIS, don’t go to Syria. If you don’t want to be killed by a Mexican, there’s nothing I can tell you… cultures are obviously deficient…There are a lot of problems with that culture (Mexican)” What Coulter’s statements primarily breakdown to is that in her perspective of Mexicans in America is that they are violent individuals that can be compare to ISIS. It would be interesting to obtain the reasoning behind her assumptions. Moreover, it is a reality that the Mexican culture in fact does demonstrate many of those violence and…

    The majoring groups of Latinos living in the United States. Each of the following groups is described in this section: Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Cubans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and Columbians and Panamanians share a chapter. Within the chapter, Gonzalez writes about individuals or families in order to reflect the general migration story of the larger groups. Thus, these individual portrayals serve as representations of the larger collection of immigrants. In the third section Gonzalez discusses several topics relating to Hispanics living in the United States. The topics include politics, immigration, language and culture, free trade, and the state of Puerto Rico. His theory is that different societies exist as a result of the historical antecedents to our modern society. In the immigrant descriptions help to personalize each of the different groups and allow the reader to identify with their stories. Also, Gonzalez stresses the important differences between each of the various Latino immigrant groups in the United States. Gonzalez combines much historical research with personal interviews he has conducted of various immigrant families. Gonzalez raises several issues concerning Hispanics living in the United States that are timely. He also asserts changes and believes that are essential to ensure Latino prosperity and assimilation in the United States. The changes he suggests are thought provoking and stimulating. Although the book has much strength, it also has limitations. The most obvious limitation of the section is its brevity. Gonzalez attempts to summarize more than 500 years of history in less than eighty pages. As a result, much of the history described is generalized and collapsed into short, summary statements. This book is well suited for those wishing to learn more about Hispanics in the United States.…

    The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. I waited in the lobby about twenty minutes as the lady at the front desk was speaking on the phone. After she hung up, she was very friendly and went to get Ms. Fabiola Cervantes, as we had a scheduled appointment and had light communication through emails for about a week. After meeting with Ms. Cervantes I learned all about Latino Memphis, it’s clients, and what the agency provides for the community. Latino Memphis’s purpose is “We assist Latinos in the Greater Memphis area by connecting, collaborating and advocating for health, education and justice.” (Latino Memphis and Ebiz Solutions). They offer many different services at “El Centro” or the center, this is where Latino immigrants in the Memphis area can turn to for help of all kinds, including but not limited to, access to computers, assistance filling out any kind of government form or job application, clerical support, discussions with police officers about their rights and how to report crimes. “Tu Voz” is an ear, a voice, and an agent of change on issues impacting the Spanish speaking community of the Memphis area. Through advocacy, policy research, training and civic engagement activities, Tu Voz helps the Latino community to become more engaged and influential in the…

    In 1986, the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) was established, and its main mission or goal was to provide a positive outlook on Hispanics/Latinos, and show how Latinos are portrayed as multidimensional people instead of all the negative stereotypes. The important key to NHMC is to prevent media bias against Latinos before the American Latino youth sees themselves in a negative way. It isn’t just the way Latinos are treated through the media; it is the fact that the media rarely has Latinos in mainstream media today (About Us).…

    I have selected to expound upon the Hispanic population. What makes this population so unique is that they include several Spanish cultures that falls under the Hispanic population umbrella such as Puerto Rician, Mexican, Cuban and South or Central American (CDC, n.d) The Hispanic population is one of the fastest growing in the U.S reaching 57million in 2015 (Krogstad. J.H,2016). Texas and California are two states where the Hispanic community have a strong presence with numbers ranging in the millions. Growing at such a rapid rate they are the largest minority race in the United States. This is a population where families are large, income is low, and morbidity is of great concern. The poverty rate for Hispanics stands at 22.6 percent but,…
