"Unforgetting": Roberto Lovato's Memoir Links U.S. Military in Central America to Migration Crisis
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#57Y5H)
We look at how decades of U.S. military intervention in Central America have led to the ongoing migrant crisis, with Salvadoran American journalist Roberto Lovato, author of the new book Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution in the Americas." Lovato recounts his own family's migration from El Salvador to the United States, his return to the country as a young man to fight against the U.S.-backed right-wing government responsible for grave human rights violations, and his embrace of journalism to tell the stories of people on the margins. I'm unforgetting a history of not just El Salvador, but the United States and of myself," says Lovato.
