I just watched the halftime show this morning and loved it! I lived in Latin America for years (Ecuador, Argentina, and later Brazil). I also used to teach Spanish and Latin American literature and I have a bilingual Latina daugther (her dad is Colombian)
When I was teaching intro Spanish classes, one of the first things I'd teach my students was that "America" means the entire continent-- north and south. If I were still teaching, I'd probably show students a clip of Bad Bunny naming the countries of America.
It is a source of national embarassment how little we learn in US history about the broader history of Central and South America. I'm glad you did your part to fix that!
Well I took the lesson to extremes by getting a doctorate in Hispanic literature :)
And now I have a book forthcoming on the circulation of Latin American literature in the US market. A historical study on how political and cultural contexts shape the selection, translation, and marketing of literature.
Now onwards towards baseball season! Go Mariners!
Hell yeah!
