“Somewhere We Are Human” is a new anthology created by currently or formerly undocumented people. Curated by Reyna Grande and Sonia Guiñansaca, the entries range from visual art to personal essays (with poetry, arguably, in between), with authors, artists, and curators hail from Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Inherently this book shapes an understanding of immigration usually left out of US textbooks.

Re-watching the hit Colombian telenovela ‘Yo Soy Betty, La Fea’ offers this Costa Rican fan plenty of reflection opportunities.
