athalie Rayes, CEO and president of Latino Victory, recently spoke with AL DÍA and gave her analysis on the political implications of the 2020 census. How do all the numbers that have been revealed affect 63 million Hispanics? The political decisions that are taken from now on may end up bridging the gap and ending the bias that still remains in society when talking about Hispanics, because if one thing is clear, it is that they are no longer a minority. While the primary function of the census is to compute new population projections, it also serves to aid in the redistribution of resources and redistricting the federal and state electoral district lines. “Every ten years our political map changes and brings new opportunities, as well as disadvantages for minority communities. One advantage is that these maps allow communities to be adequately represented in the federal Congress and in many state legislatures. Right now the state legislatures are creating their new congressional and state maps and that will impact the 2022 elections. If each community has the representation it deserves, the decisions made at those levels will be better informed and more equitable,” explained Rayes. Additionally, “Latinos, especially women, are running for electoral seats at the local and federal level. This is creating an increasingly large network of talent with candidates who know the community in depth because they are part of it. This will allow our community to have the adequate representation that we deserve within a decade or two,” said the president of Latino Victory. For Rayes and other analysts, the most surprising data of the last census is the decreasing number of people who identify themselves as white only, not only within the general population but also among Hispanics, which went from 53% in 2010 to approximately 20% in 2020. “That speaks about the multiculturalism of our country and how Latinos are increasing and the diversity within the Latino community itself,” she concluded.

athalie Rayes, CEO y presidenta de Latino Victory, habló con AL DÍA y dio su análisis sobre las implicaciones políticas del censo 2020. ¿Cómo todos los números que se han revelado afectan a esos 63 millones de hispanos? Las decisiones políticas que se tomen en adelante pueden terminar de romper la brecha y el sesgo que aún permanece en la sociedad al hablar de los hispanos, pues si algo quedó claro es que ya no son minoría. Si bien la función principal del censo es calcular las nuevas proyecciones de la población, también sirve para ayudar en la redistribución de recursos y redibujar las líneas de los distritos electorales federales y estatales. “Cada diez años nuestro mapa político cambia y trae nuevas oportunidades, al igual que desventajas para las comunidades minoritarias. Una ventaja es que estos mapas permiten a las comunidades tener la representación adecuada en el congreso federal y en muchas legislaturas a nivel estatal. Ahora mismo las legislaturas estatales están creando sus nuevos mapas del congreso y estatales y eso impactará las elecciones del 2022. Si cada comunidad tiene la representación que merece las decisiones que se toman a esos niveles serán mejor informadas y más equitativas”, explica Rayes. Además, “los latinos, especialmente las mujeres, se están postulando a escaños electorales a nivel local y federal. Esto está creando una red de talento cada vez más grande con candidatos que conocen a la comunidad a fondo porque son parte de ella, esto va a permitir que dentro de una o dos décadas nuestra comunidad tenga la representación adecuada que merecemos”, señala la presidenta de Latino Victory. Para Rayes, al igual que para otros analistas, el dato más sorprendente del último censo es el número cada vez menor de personas que se identifican de raza blanca solamente, no solo dentro de la población general sino dentro de los hipanos que pasó de un 53% en 2010 a aproximadamente un 20% en 2020. “Eso habla acerca del multiculturalismo de nuestro país y cómo los latinos vamos en aumento y la diversidad dentro de la misma comunidad latina”, concluyó.

oseph Dominguez, the CEO of Commonwealth Edison Co. (ComEd), has been promoted to CEO of Exelon Generation and incoming CEO of the competitive energy business, which will be called Constellation. “Constellation will be the largest producer of clean energy in the nation by a wide margin, giving our expansive customer-facing platform a competitive edge as consumers and policymakers increasingly demand sustainable energy solutions,” Dominguez said in a press release. “I’m excited about the opportunity to lead such a talented workforce as we seek new opportunities to help our customers and communities reduce pollution and power a next-generation energy grid,” he added. The announcement of Dominguez’s new role coincides with Exelon Corporation’s planned separation of its companies. In Feb. 2021, the corporation announced its plans to split into two publicly traded companies, one for its regulated electric and gas utilities and the other for its unregulated power generation and customer-facing energy. The separation is being done to give each company the financial and strategic independence to focus on its unique customer needs, while remaining focused on its core business strategy. “The two companies will be leaders in their respective industries and will have the resources necessary to best serve their respective customers and sustain long-term investment and operating excellence,” said Chris Crane, Exelon Corp. President and CEO. “As an independent company, Exelon will lead the way toward a brighter and cleaner energy future for our more than 10 million electric and gas customers, while continuing to invest in critical infrastructure, expand economic opportunity and promote equity in all the communities we serve.” The process of the separation is on track to closing during the first quarter of 2022, pending the completion of the remaining regulatory approvals. This new role as CEO of Exelon Generation and Constellation marks the latest for Dominguez during his nearly two-decades with the company in a number of different roles. His long tenure with the company is proof of his value and leadership as a corporate professional. Since he took over his most recent role as CEO of ComEd in 2018, Dominguez has overseen the

oseph Dominguez, CEO de Commonwealth Edison Co. (ComEd), ha sido ascendido a CEO de Exelon Generation y CEO entrante de su competitivo negocio energético, que se llamará Constellation. “Constellation será el mayor productor de energía limpia de la nación por un amplio margen, dando a nuestra plataforma expansiva orientada al cliente una ventaja competitiva ya que los consumidores y políticos demandan cada vez más soluciones de energía sostenible”, dijo Domínguez en un comunicado de prensa. “Estoy entusiasmado con la oportunidad de liderar una fuerza laboral tan talentosa mientras buscamos nuevas oportunidades para ayudar a nuestros clientes y comunidades a reducir la contaminación y alimentar una red de energía de nueva generación”, agregó. El anuncio del nuevo rol de Domínguez coincide con la separación planificada de las empresas de Exelon Corporation. En febrero de 2021, la corporación anunció sus planes de dividirse en dos empresas que cotizan en bolsa, una para sus servicios públicos de electricidad y gas regulados y la otra para generación de energía no regulada y energía orientada al cliente. La separación se realiza para dar a cada empresa la independencia financiera y estratégica para centrarse en las necesidades únicas de sus clientes, sin dejar de centrarse en su estrategia empresarial central. “Las dos empresas serán líderes en sus respectivas industrias y tendrán los recursos necesarios para servir mejor a sus respectivos clientes y mantener la inversión a largo plazo y la excelencia operativa”, dijo Chris Crane, presidente y CEO de Exelon Corp. “Como empresa independiente, Exelon liderará el camino hacia un futuro energético más brillante y limpio para nuestros más de 10 millones de clientes de electricidad y gas, mientras continúa invirtiendo en infraestructura crítica, expandiendo las oportunidades económicas y promoviendo la equidad en todas las comunidades a las que servimos”. El proceso de separación está en vías de cerrarse durante el primer trimestre de 2022, a la espera de que se completen las aprobaciones regulatorias restantes. Este nuevo rol como CEO de Exelon Generation y Constellation marca el último para Domínguez durante sus casi dos décadas en la compañía en una serie de roles diferentes. Su larga permanencia en la empresa es prueba de su valor y liderazgo como profesional corporativo. Desde que asumió su cargo más reciente como CEO de ComEd en 2018, Domínguez ha supervisado la administración de una red eléctrica que atiende a más de 4 millones de clientes en Chicago y la mayor parte del norte de Illinois.

f the Pandora Papers have brought anything to light, it is the use of offshore companies to hide millions and millions of dollars in taxes from ministries of finance across the world. Now that thousands of the world’s most powerful people are known to have operated this way, what’s next?
THE EUROPEAN UNION
The EU was already preparing an effort to end firms acting as tax shields. The Pandora Papers have provided the European Commission with arguments to speed up the process. With the debt generated by the pandemic, increasing taxes would be some kind of relief. During the last debate of European Parliament, Economic Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni pointed out that “as a

Brussels already had a blacklist of tax havens, but it does not include the British Virgin Islands, home to two out of every three cases that have been uncovered by the Pandora Papers.
CHILE
The Chilean opposition has presented a motion to remove President Sebastián Piñera for his appearance in the Pandora Papers. The leak reveals that he used a shell company in the British Virgin Islands to buy the Dominga mining project he sold in 2010, when he was already president. The pending impeachment proceedings add to increasing social, economic and health crises that have brought Piñera’s popularity down to below 20%

LA UNIÓN EUROPEA
La UE preparaba ya un proyecto para poner fin a este tipo de sociedades. Los Papaeles de Pandora han cargado de argumentos a la Comisión Europea, el órgano ejecutivo, para acelerar el proceso. Con la deuda que ha generado la pandemia, aumentar la recaudación de impuestos aliviaría a todo el club. En el último debate del Parlamento Europeo, el comisario de economía Paolo Gentiloni señalo que “a raíz de los papeles de Pandora” es de dominio público el “pa-

El proceso de destitución se suma al estallido social y a la crisis económica y sanitaria que han hecho descender la popularidad de Piñera por debajo del 20%, un mínimo histórico.

That signal of support came after the Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation for bribery and tax crime. The Public Ministry acknowledged that it had already investigated the agreement to sell the mine at the time, but argued that it did not have the original contract in English at the time, which it now considers a “new precedent” in the case.

n Friday, Oct. 8, President Joe Biden issued a proclamation commemorating Indigenous People’s Day, making him the first U.S. president to do so. In the proclamation, he recognized the contributions Indigenous peoples have made in public service, entrepreneurship, scholarships, the arts and countless other industries. “Today, we acknowledge the significant sacrifices made by Native peoples to this country — and recognize their many ongoing contributions to our Nation,” the proclamation read. Biden also marked a change of course from previous administrations by acknowledging the death and destruction of Native American communities after Christopher Columbus journeyed to North America in 1492. “It is a measure of our greatness as a Nation that we do not seek to bury these shameful episodes of our past — that we face them honestly, we bring them to the light, and we do all we can to address them,” Biden wrote. More than 100 cities, including Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix and Seattle, along with a number of states, including Minnesota, Vermont and Oregon, have replaced the celebration of Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day, deciding instead to recognize the Native Americans that were impacted by genocide after Columbus and other European explorers reached the continent.

hecho a este país y reconocemos sus numerosas y continuas contribuciones a nuestra nación”, decía la proclamación. Biden también marcó un cambio de rumbo con respecto a las administraciones anteriores al reconocer la muerte y la destrucción de las comunidades nativas americanas tras el viaje de Cristóbal Colón a Norteamérica en 1492. “Es una medida de nuestra grandeza como nación el hecho de que no tratemos de enterrar estos vergonzosos episodios de nuestro pasado, sino que los afrontemos con honestidad, los saquemos a la luz y hagamos todo lo posible para abordarlos”, escribió Biden. Más de 100 ciudades, entre ellas Los Ángeles, Denver, Phoenix y Seattle, junto con varios estados, como Minnesota, Vermont y Oregón, han sustituido la celebración del Día de la Raza por el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas, decidiendo en su lugar reconocer a los nativos americanos que sufrieron el impacto del genocidio después de que Colón y otros exploradores europeos llegaran al continente.

Las conversaciones sobre la sustitución del Día de la Raza por un reconocimiento de los pueblos indígenas se remontan a 1977, durante la Conferencia Internacional sobre Discriminación contra las Poblaciones Indígenas en las Américas celebrada en Ginebra.

“IN FRONT OF BIDEN’S PLAN, SOME AMERICANS DON’T WANT TO 'BE DENMARK'” “Should the United States be like Europe? In the next few weeks, Joe Biden will stake his presidency on this issue. At 78, he has the ambition to go down in history as one of the great reformers of his country. He wants to follow the tradition of two of his Democratic predecessors who changed America’s profile, Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945) and Lyndon Johnson (1963-1969). (…) “The battle is going to be tough, on two levels: political and ideological. Because what is at stake is an idea of America, something profound that goes far beyond a dispute over the level of the country’s public debt (…) or the macroeconomic relevance of Biden’s program. “Between now and October 31, Congress must definitely vote on two major projects (…). The first (…) modernize infrastructures in poor condition: bridges, ports, roads and airports. (…) “The second (...): a considerable strengthening of the welfare state and the fight against global warming.” Comment by Alain Frachon, published on October 13. “¿Debe Estados Unidos ser como Europa? En las próximas semanas, Joe Biden se jugará su presidencia en esta cuestión. A sus 78 años, tiene la ambición de pasar a la historia como uno de los grandes reformadores de su país. Quiere seguir la tradición de dos de sus predecesores demócratas que cambiaron el perfil de Estados Unidos, Franklin Roosevelt (19331945) y Lyndon Johnson (1963-1969). (…) “La batalla va a ser dura, en dos niveles: político e ideológico. Porque lo que está en juego es una idea de América, algo profundo que va mucho más allá de una disputa sobre el nivel de la deuda pública del país (…) o la relevancia macroeconómica del programa de Biden. “De aquí al 31 de octubre, el Congreso debe votar definitivamente dos grandes proyectos (…). El primero (…) modernizar las infraestructuras en mal estado: puentes, puertos, carreteras y aeropuertos. (…) “El segundo (…) : un considerable refuerzo del Estado del bienestar y la lucha contra el calentamiento global”. - Comentario de Alain Frachon, publicado el 13 de octubre.

(…) “It was a repetition, but with more credibility than ever, of what many academics, experts in digital technology and some politicians have been saying for a long time, the few who take the trouble to see that social networks like Facebook represent such a great threat for general well-being such as coronavirus or climate change. (…) As Joseph Biden has said, the companies that run social networks ‘are killing people’ through the lies they publish about covid vaccines. And, the president of the United States could have added, about the role they have played in fomenting the cold civil war in which his very polarized country finds itself - his, Argentina and many more ”. Commentary by John Carlin, posted October 9. “(…) El día después del desastre ciberespacial, una penitente exempleada de Facebook, Frances Haugen, lanzó una bomba durante una presentación en el Senado estadounidense. Aportó documentos internos demostrando el cinismo con el que la gran oligarquía digital manipula los algoritmos para anteponer el bien de la empresa al bien de sus 2,7 mil millones de clientes. (…) “Fue una repetición, pero con más credibilidad que nunca, de lo que llevan diciendo hace tiempo cantidades de académicos, expertos en tecnología digital y algunos políticos, los pocos que se toman la molestia de ver que redes sociales como Facebook representan una amenaza tan grande para el bienestar general como el coronavirus o el cambio climático. (…) Como ha dicho Joseph Biden, las empresas que llevan las redes sociales ‘están matando a gente’ a través de las mentiras que publican sobre las vacunas contra la covid. Y, el presidente de Estados Unido podría haber agregado, sobre el papel que han jugado en fomentar la guerra civil fría en la que se encuentra su polarizadísimo país—el suyo, la Argentina y muchos más”.

THE HISPANIC POPULATION GROWTH IN THE COUNTRY IS NOT ONLY A TREND ANYMORE. WHAT THE RESULTS OF THE LAST CENSUS MEAN. EL CRECIMIENTO DE LA POBLACIÓN HISPANA EN EL PAÍS YA NO ES SOLO UNA TENDENCIA. LO QUE IMPLICAN LOS RESULTADOS DEL ÚLTIMO CENSO.

he United States is not a homogeneous country. It never has been. At its origin is the fruit of migrations and today, 245 years after its founding, it continues to be and evolves thanks to migrations. Hispanics, Latinos, Latinx, we all come from different places and our origins are so rooted in the culture of the continent that it is impossible to deny they are also rooted in North America. The 2020 census, of which we don't know all the data yet, is the best evidence to date of what was already sensed. The United States of the 21st century is a melting pot of cultures, not only European or African, but also Latin American and Asian from all latitudes. And among these, the weight of Hispanic culture is increasingly evident and irreversible. The figures revealed by the census are overwhelming. Of 331 million Americans, 63.7 million consider themselves Hispanic. One in four Americans consider themselves Hispanic or Asian. In other words, more than 25% of the population identifies their origin outside the United States. In addition, the Hispanic population increased in the last decade by 23%, only surpassed by Asians, who increased by 41%. The Latino influence has even reached places as "white" as the Dakotas. In North Dakota the Hispanic population increased 148% between 2010 and 2020, while in South Dakota, it increased 75%. Latinos represent 39% of the population in California and Texas, and 26% in Florida — a trend that continues in the South of the country and has remained stable since the Hispanic population in the country began to be counted in 1980. But what about the Hispanic population in other regions of the country? The census data is thorough and divided by regions, states, counties, and curious enough can even know the origin of Hispanics in each of the regions. In this way, we know, for example, that in Philadelphia, 15.6% of the population is Hispanic. The majority are Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, but in the last two decades, the number of Mexicans and Central Americans has increased.

stados Unidos no es un país homogéneo. Nunca lo ha sido. En su origen está el fruto de las migraciones y hoy, 245 años después de su fundación, sigue siendo y evolucionando gracias a las migraciones. Hispanos, latinos, latinx, todos venimos de distintos lugares y nuestros orígenes están tan arraigados a la cultura del continente que ya es imposible negar que también están arraigados en el norte de América. El censo de 2020, del que todavía se están conociendo los datos, es la evidencia final de lo que ya se intuía. Los Estados Unidos del siglo XXI son un crisol de culturas ya no solo europeas o africanas, sino también latinoamericanas y asiáticas provenientes de todas las latitudes. Y entre todas estas, el peso de la cultura hispana es cada vez más evidente e irreversible. Las cifras reveladas por el censo son contundentes. De 331 millones de estadounidenses, 63.7 millones se consideran hispanos. Uno de cada cuatro estadounidenses se considera hispano o asiático. Es decir, más del 25% de la población identifica su origen fuera de Estados Unidos. Además, la población hispana aumentó en la última década un 23%, solo superada por los asiáticos que aumentaron un 41%. La influencia latina ha llegado incluso a lugares tan “blancos” como Dakota. En Dakota del Norte la población hispana aumentó 148% entre 2010 y 2020, mientras que en Dakota del Sur aumentó un 75%. Los latinos representan el 39% de la población en California y Texas, y el 26% en Florida, una tendencia que se mantiene en el sur del país y que ha permanecido estable desde que se comenzó a contabilizar la población hispana en el país, en 1980. Pero, y ¿cómo está la población hispana en otras regiones del país? Los datos del censo son concienzudos y están divididos por regiones, estados, condados, incluso se puede saber el origen de los hispanos en cada una de las regiones. De este modo sabemos, por ejemplo, que en Filadelfia, el 15.6% de la población es hispana, que en su mayoría son puertorriqueños y dominicanos, aunque en las últimas dos décadas han aumentado los mexicanos y centroamericanos.

The same phenomenon in Philadelphia is repeated throughout the Northeast. In the South, the majority of Latinos identify as of Mexican or Cuban origin — such as in Florida. In the North, the trends are more for the Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. However, Mexicans still represent the vast majority of Hispanics in the country, as 37.2 million Hispanics identify as Mexican. According to Jeffrey Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Research Center, one of the most important findings of this latest census is precisely the mobility of Hispanics from the South to the North of the country and their growth in “white” states.

Hispanic, Latino, Latinx are the expressions used to talk about immigrants who come from the countries of Central and South America and from Spain. Brazil was excluded from this category of the census, because despite being Latino, their language is not Spanish. In 1976, Congress passed a law that allowed the origin of Hispanics to be questioned in a category other than race on the census. In fact, it is the only law that mandates the collection and analysis of data on a specific ethnic group, apart from the category of race. Thus, in the 1980 census, the specific question about Hispanic origin began to be asked. Even before this mandate, the government has tried to measure the Hispanic population in the country through surveys on the country of origin of people, using surnames, the languages they spoke and more as guides. The question has changed little in the past 40 years, and although during the administration of President Barack Obama, the Census Bureau suggested joining the two questions about the ethnic origin of Hispanics and race, the Trump administration, which was in charge of the design and preparation of the 2020 census, did not follow through. However, a change was made to the race question. In 2020, people who identified as white or Black were able to write a description about their origin. This,

PORTADA among other things, caused people who identify as Hispanic within the racial categories to change substantially. That is, they were no longer only Hispanic, but white-Hispanic, Black-Hispanic, or even multiracial. According to Passel, “the format of the question on race, which allowed and, I would say, even encouraged people to give specific answers within racial categories”, was the cause of the most significant phenomenon in the 2020 census data: 33.8 million people recognized themselves as belonging to more than one race, an increase of more than three times, as 9 million did so in 2010, and only 6.8 million considered themselves of more than one race in 2,000, the first year in which this question was asked. Among Hispanics, there was also a significant increase, as more than 20 million identified with more than one race in the 2020 census, representing an increase of 17 million in 10 years. What does it mean for Americans to identify as multiracial? What does it mean in particular for Hispanics? Between 2010 and 2019, 9.3 million Hispanic babies were born in the United States, a similar number to the total in the 2000s. By comparison, 3.5 million Hispanic immigrants came to the country between 2010 and 2019, substantially fewer than the 6.5 million that arrived at the beginning of the millennium. The fact that there are more Hispanic babies born in the country, many of these in multiracial families compared to new immigrants, demonstrates social mobility, as more and more people of different races and ethnicities marry each other,
have children who inherit diverse origins, and these children identify with all their ancestors. This phenomenon also responds to the passage of time. Multiracial babies of two or three decades ago are now young adults and have broader views of their origins. The multiraciality in second or third generation immigrants, which is what is being seen this decade compared to previous censuses, also implies a change in the vision of what it is to be white or multiracial, and how the youngest assume with more naturalness, and even pride, various origins. Stanford University sociologist Tomás Jiménez told NPR that "older people who grew up in the mid-20th century were taught that Hispanics were white and that there could be a benefit in claiming their whiteness," in contrast , “U.S.-born people now responding to the census have been educated in a time of national anti-immigrant and anti-Latino politics. They are ticking the census boxes with a different sensitivity. " But being multiracial cuts across other aspects of culture as well. In the last fifty years, for example, Latin music has influenced the culture and the Latin market, from salsa and Latin jazz in New York, pop figures such as Jennifer Lopez or Shakira, Mexican regional so popular in Chicano culture, and reggaeton of the last decade. All these rhythms have brought Latino culture closer to American society. And while generations listen to music in Spanish and Spanglish, more Hispanics speak English — in 2019, 39.8 million were fluent in English, according to
the Pew Research Center. But also, 42.5 million people speak Spanish as natives, 14.9 million have limited language proficiency and 7.8 million are studying Spanish, according to data from the Hispanic Council.
HISPANICS, GENERATORS OF WEALTH
It also doesn’t end there. These generations of Hispanics are taking the lead in new business creation and the job market. Latino startups far exceed those created in recent years by whites. Latinos are the group that has created the most companies in the last 10 years: 34% compared to 1% of general growth, and contribute $2.7 trillion of GDP to the economy of the country. That alone would be
the eighth largest economy in the world. As Janet Murguía, president and CEO of UnidosUS says, "the good news is that most Americans recognize the importance of Latinos and Latinas to our economy and appreciate our work ethic and values. The bad news is that the majority of Americans also believe in widely inaccurate and negative myths and stereotypes -perpetuated by the news and social media -about our size and immigration status that are preventing our country from making the investments and enacting policies that will benefit both our community and our nation." The path is outlined and the projections are positive. Being multiracial is no longer a dream, it is a reality in which the Latino community has such an important place that it cannot be hidden.
During the administration of President Barack Obama, the Census Bureau suggested joining the two questions about the ethnic origin of Hipanos and that of race, but the Trump administration, which was in charge of the design and preparation of the 2020 census, did not make it happen.

De este modo, en el censo de 1980 se empezó a hacer la pregunta específica sobre el origen hispano. Desde antes de este mandato, el gobierno ha intentado medir a la población hispana en el país, a través de encuestas sobre el país de origen de las personas, usando como guía los apellidos, los idiomas que hablaban, etc. La pregunta ha cambiado poco en estos 40 años, y aunque durante el gobierno del presidente Barack Obama, la Oficina del Censo sugirió unir las dos preguntas sobre el origen étnico de los hispanos y la de la raza, el gobierno de Trump, que estuvo a cargo del diseño y elaboración del censo 2020, no lo hizo. Sin embargo, sí se hizo un cambio en la pregunta sobre la raza. Solo hasta 2020, las personas que se identifican de raza blanca o negra pudieron escribir una descripción sobre su origen. Esto, entre otras cosas, hizo que las personas que se identifican como de origen hispano dentro de las categorías raciales cambiara sustancialmente. Es decir, ya no solamente es hispano, es blanco-hispano, afroamericano-hispano, o incluso multirracial.

PORTADA Según Passel, “el formato de la pregunta sobre la raza, que permitía, y yo diría que incluso animaba a la gente a dar respuestas específicas dentro de las categorías raciales”, fue la causa del fenómeno más significativo en los datos del censo 2020, 33.8 millones de personas se reconocieron como pertenecientes a más de una raza, un aumento de más de tres veces, pues 9 millones lo hicieron en 2010, y sólo 6.8 millones se consideraban de más de una raza en 2.000, el primer año en el que se hizo esta pregunta. Dentro de los hispanos este número también tuvo un incremento significativo, más de 20 millones se identificaron con más de una raza en el censo de 2020, lo que representó un aumento de 17 millones en 10 años. ¿Qué significa que los estadounidenses se identifiquen como multirraciales? ¿Qué significa en particular para los hispanos? Entre 2010 y 2019, 9,3 millones de bebés hispanos nacieron en los EE.UU, un número similar al total de la década de 2000. En comparación, 3,5 millones de inmigrantes hispanos llegaron al país entre 2010 y 2019, sustancialmente menos que los 6,5 millones que llegaron al comienzo del milenio. El hecho de que sean más los bebés hispanos nacidos en el país, muchos de estos en familias multirraciales, frente a los nuevos inmigrantes, demuestran la movilidad social, cada vez más personas de diferentes razas y etnias se casan entre sí, tienen hijos que heredan orígenes diversos y estos hijos se identifican con todos sus ancestros. Este fenómeno responde además al paso del tiempo. Los bebés multirraciales de hace dos o tres décadas hoy ya son adultos jóvenes y tienen puntos de vista más amplios sobre su origen. La multirracialidad en los inmigrantes de segunda o tercera generación, que es lo que se está viendo en esta década comparada con censos anteriores, implica también un cambio en la visión de lo que es ser blanco o multirracial, y cómo los más jóvenes asumen con más naturalidad, e incluso orgullo, sus diversos orígenes. El sociólogo de la Universidad de Stanford, Tomás Jiménez, señaló a NPR que “a las personas mayores que se criaron a mediados del siglo XX se les enseñó que los hispanos eran blancos y que podría haber un beneficio en reivindicar su blancura”, en contraste, “las personas nacidas en

Estados Unidos que ahora responden al censo han sido educadas en una época de política nacional anti-inmigrante y antilatina. Están marcando las casillas del censo con una sensibilidad diferente”. Pero ser multirraciales también atraviesa otros aspectos de la cultura. En los últimos cincuenta años, por ejemplo, la música latina ha influenciado la cultura y el mercado latino, desde la salsa y el latin jazz en Nueva York, pasando por las figuras del pop como Jennifer Lopez o Shakira, el regional mexicano tan popular en la cultura chicana hasta el reggaeton de la última década. Todos estos ritmos han acercado la cultura latina a la sociedad estadounidense. Y mientras generaciones escuchan música en español y spanglish, más hispanos hablan inglés, en 2019, 39.8 millones hablaban el inglés de forma fluida, según Pew Research Center. Pero también 42,5 millones de personas hablan español como nativos, 14,9 tienen competencia limitada del idioma y 7,8 millones están estudiando español, según datos del Hispanic Council.
HISPANOS, GENERADORES DE RIQUEZA
Y ahí no termina la cosa. Estas generaciones de hispanos están tomando la
delantera en la creación de nuevas empresas y en el mercado laboral. Los emprendimientos latinos superan de lejos las creadas en los últimos años por los blancos. Los latinos son el grupo que más empresas ha creado en los últimos diez años: 34% frente al 1% de crecimiento general, y contribuye con 2,7 billones de dólares del PIB a la economía del país, por lo que por sí sola sería la octava economía más grande del mundo. Como dice Janet Murguía, presidenta y CEO de UnidosUS, “la buena noticia es que la mayoría de los estadounidenses reconocen la importancia de los latinos y latinas para nuestra economía y aprecian nuestra ética de trabajo y nuestros valores. La mala noticia es que la mayoría de los estadounidenses también creen en mitos y estereotipos ampliamente inexactos y negativos -perpetuados por las noticias y las redes sociales- sobre nuestro tamaño y situación migratoria que están impidiendo a nuestro país hacer las inversiones y promulgar las políticas que beneficiarán tanto a nuestra comunidad como a nuestra nación”. El camino está trazado y las proyecciones son positivas. La multirracialidad ya no es un sueño, es una realidad en la que la comunidad latina tiene un lugar tan importante que no se puede esconder.

odcaster Sam Sanders took a recent look at popular music’s ‘Latin explosion,’ as first observed in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The conversation took place on Sanders’ NPR podcast, It’s Been a Minute with Sam Sanders. The latest episode, “1999’s ‘Latin Explosion’ chased crossover hits. Today, Latino artists don’t need them,” is the third episode of a three-part series on crossovers in pop music. The episode was co-hosted by NPR’s Andrea Gutierrez. Sanders views the episode as a “case study” of a crossover event that perhaps didn’t need to be, and the state of crossover in general today, as genrelines become increasingly blurred. This ‘90s ‘Latin explosion’ is described as a significant uptick in Latin artists on Western radio airtime, beginning with the international success of Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Following Martin’s electric performance of “La Copa De La Vida” at the 1999 Grammy Awards — garnering the

artist Western attention — record producers searched for the next Latin hit. This led to the creation of Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” a song often cited as a major building block for the ‘90s Latin explosion.
THE 1990S ‘LATIN EXPLOSION’
While cultural intersection is a celebrated and more natural commonplace today, the particular ‘Latin explosion’ in question was heavily rooted in marketing efforts. Sanders was particularly critical of said early efforts. “There were these artists trying to make a thing that, I think, executives thought was wanted, but perhaps wasn’t needed. So you end up with artists like Shakira dying her hair blonde and being forced to sing in English, in a way that we kinda nodded our heads to and danced to back then, but now it feels clunky,” he said. Twenty years later, artists of Latin descent reach audiences worldwide through self-made culture, projected with the help of online platforms.

Sanders enfocó el episodio como un “caso de estudio” de un fenómeno de fusión que quizás no necesitaba haber ocurrido, ya que hoy en día, a medida que las líneas de género se vuelven cada vez más borrosas, cada vez es más difícil hablar de fusión. Esta “Explosión Latina” de los noventa se describe como un aumento significativo de la presencia de artistas latinos en las emisiones de radio occidentales, comenzando con el éxito internacional de “Livin ‘La Vida Loca” de Ricky Martin. Tras la actuación eléctrica de Martin con “La Copa De La Vida” en los Premios Grammy de 1999 -ganándose la atención de los ar-
tistas occidentales -, los productores de discos empezaron a buscar el próximo éxito latino. Esto llevó a la creación de “Livin ‘La Vida Loca” de Martin, una canción que a menudo se cita como uno de los pilares fundamentales de la explosión latina de los noventa.
LA ‘EXPLOSIÓN LATINA” DE LOS 90
Si bien la intersección cultural es algo cada vez más común y celebrado hoy en día, la “explosión latina” en particular en cuestión estaba fuertemente arraigada a los esfuerzos de marketing. Sanders fue particularmente crítico con dichos esfuerzos iniciales. “Ahí estaban todos esos artistas tratando de hacer algo que, creo, los ejecutivos pensaban que era lo que el público deseaba, pero quizás no lo era. Eso hizo que termináramos con artistas como Shakira, tiñéndose el cabello de rubio y viéndose obligados a cantar en inglés, para que en ese momento asintiéramos y bailáramos, pero ahora parece ridículo ”, dijo. Veinte años después, los artistas de ascendencia latina llegan a audiencias en todo el mundo a través de una cultura propia, proyectada con la ayuda de las plataformas online. OCTOBER 20 - 27, 2021
I wondered: who is this for? Me preguntaba: ¿a quién se dirige esto? Andrea Gutierrez ENGLISH “There was this assumption that dumb Americans, like me, couldn’t enjoy a song unless it was in English,” said Sanders. “We see now, in the last several years, that’s not the case, and it was probably never the case.”
TIMING AND A ‘BOTTOM LINE’
Gutierrez shared her belief that it all came down to timing, and that as the Western world was adjusting to an influx of Latino populations, the music industry was attempting to do the same. “You have this growing power… a population you can market to, but it’s also coming at the end of what the music industry was like at that time. There were massive conglomerates taking over, but it was also right before everything went digital,” she continued The switch to digital derailed the growing mainstream attempt at a Latin explosion, just as digital options would continue to derail and alter the norm of media consumption for years to come. A high school student at the time “Livin’ La Vida Loca” was released, Gutierrez perceived the ‘Latin explosion’ as embarrassing, and a forced media blitz. “Even that phrase ‘Latin explosion.’ I couldn’t shake the feeling of being marketed to,” said Gutierrez in the episode. “Like someone had captured lightning in a bottle, but that bottle was market-tested and focus-grouped to death. And I wondered: who is this for?” The ‘Latin explosion’ was influenced by mainstream music’s “bottom line”: a focus on maximizing consumer interest in a product, but radio gatekeeping, and designated power bestowed upon record labels, has since disappeared. One major contributor to the Latin explosion’s underlying flaws is that Latino people come from varied backgrounds, have different experiences and different wants and needs. “All I need is my smartphone to find whatever I need, whatever I want… I don’t need any executive to tell me what I want,” said Sanders. OCTOBER 20 - 27, 2021
ESPAÑOL “Existía la suposición de que los estadounidenses tontos, como yo, no podían disfrutar de una canción a menos que estuviera en inglés”, dijo Sanders. “Vemos ahora, en los últimos años, que ese no es el caso, y probablemente nunca fue el caso”.
CUESTIÓN DE TIMING
Gutiérrez compartió su opinión de que todo se reducía a una cuestión de timing, y que mientras el mundo occidental intentaba adaptarse a al incremento de la población latina, la industria de la música intentaba hacer lo mismo. “Tienes esta fuerza creciente... una población a la que puedes comercializar, pero a la vez un modelo de industria musical que estaba llegando a su fin. Se estaban dando concentraciones de mercado por parte de grandes conglomerados y estábamos justo antes de se volviera todo digital”, continuó. El cambio a digital descarriló el creciente intento de convertir en mainstream la explosión latina, al igual que las diferentes alternativas digitales continuarían descarrilando y alterando las normas del consumo mediático en los años venideros. Gutiérrez, estudiante de secundaria en el momento en que se lanzó “Livin ‘La Vida Loca”, percibió la “explosión latina” como vergonzosa y como un bombardeo mediático forzado. “Incluso esa frase, ‘explosión latina’. No pude evitar la sensación de estar siendo objeto de comercialización”, dijo Gutiérrez en el podcast. “Como si alguien hubiera capturado un rayo en una botella, y esa botella fuera probada en el mercado y sometida a focus groups constantemente. Y me preguntaba: ¿a quién se dirige esto?” La “explosión latina” fue influenciada por el “resultado final” que persigue la música mainstream: maximizar el interés del consumidor en un producto, aprovechando que la influencia de la radio y los sellos discográficos desaparecía. Uno de los principales factores que no tuvo en cuenta la explosión latina, y de ahí sus errores, es que los latinos provienen de diversos orígenes, tienen diferentes experiencias y diferentes deseos y necesidades. “Lo único que me hace falta para encontrar lo que necesito, lo que quiera, es mi smartphone... No necesito que ningún ejecutivo me diga lo que quiero”, dijo Sanders.

n Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 13, Camilo and Evaluna surprised their followers with their latest release “Índigo,” where they showed scenes of them giving the news to their family members of their first pregnancy. The couple kept the news a secret for a long time and created a whole campaign on social media around the track, with short, eye-catching videos using the song’s chorus. “Hello, we are Camilo and Evaluna. And in October there’s new music,” the two wrote on their Instagram accounts next to a video where they appear testing different music equipment.
l pasado miércoles 13 de octubre por la tarde, Camilo y Evaluna sorprendieron a sus seguidores con su último lanzamiento ‘Índigo’, donde revelaron imágenes dándole la noticia a sus familiares de su primer embarazo. La pareja mantuvo en secreto la noticia durante mucho tiempo y creó toda una campaña de expectativa en redes sociales con vídeos cortos y llamativos que acompañaban el coro de la canción. “Hola, somos Camilo y Evaluna. Y en octubre hay música nueva”, escribieron los dos en sus cuentas de Instagram junto a un video donde aparecen probando diferentes equipos de música.
THE BIG REVEAL
While the clip plays, you can hear excerpts of what would be their new song, with lyrics that talk about how the love of their life has arrived in both their voices. “Because he came into my life, the love of my life, I only asked for the one above but with you he went too far,” sounds the chorus. Fans of the couple kept an eye on the release, taking the video to one million views in the first two hours after its premiere. In the video, one can see how Camilo caresses his wife’s stomach and cries with joy when Evaluna shows him the positive pregnancy test. The great news is announced by Evaluna when she sings: “Contigo ya no hay martes 13, prepara el cachete pa’ que te lo bese. Y es que lo bueno toma tiempo a veces, yo tuve que esperarte nueve meses” (“Good things take time sometimes, I had to wait nine months for you”). At the end of the verse, the screen shows Camilo giving her a kiss on the belly, followed by several real time reactions from family members when they got the news. “Glory to God. TRIBUUU ARE GOING TO BE TIIIOOOOOSSS. The most beautiful news in the world. And joy is never complete until you share it with the people you love! With you. With LA TRIBU,” the singer wrote in the video’s comment section on YouTube. “Índigo” was written by Camilo and his collaborator Édgar Barrera. The song is a retro-pop celebration of love, anticipation and the beginning of a new journey for the couple. Like their previous videos “Por Prime-

Los fans de esta pareja se mantuvieron pendientes del lanzamiento, llevando el vídeo a un millón de reproducciones en las primeras dos horas de su estreno. En el video se puede ver cómo Camilo le acaricia el estómago a su esposa y llora de la alegría cuando Evaluna le muestra la prueba de embarazo positiva.

KEEPING UP WITH THE MONTANERS
With the birth of their first child, Camilo and Evaluna, also creep closer to a comparatively popular and powerful couple (though, now divorced) in Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who have four kids. West is the only musician of the American pair, while Camilo and Evalu-
na are both big in the Latin and overall music industry. The Latin couple’s similarity with Kardashian is that both will soon have a docu-series following their everyday lives. Both — through blood and marriage — are two key parts of the influential Montaner family of great musical prowess across Latin America. Its patriarch is famed Argentine-Venezuelan singer Ricardo Montaner. Camilo and Evaluna represent the next generation of the musical family. And part of that life will now be playing out Keeping up with the Kardashians style.

Mientras que en la pareja estadounidense solo West es músico, en el caso de Camilo y Evaluna ambos son miembros
importantes de la música latina y la industria musical en general. La similitud de la pareja latina con Kardashian es que ambos pronto tendrán una serie documental sobre su vida cotidiana. Ambos, a través de la sangre y el matrimonio, son dos elementos clave de la influyente familia Montaner, conocidos por su gran destreza musical en América Latina. Su patriarca es el afamado cantante argentino-venezolano Ricardo Montaner. Camilo y Evaluna representan la próxima generación de esta familia de músicos. Y parte de esa vida se desarrollará a partir de ahora para mantenerse al día al estilo de las Kardashian.

ENGLISH a pianist, composer, arranger and founder of the legendary group, Irakere. Before the band, Valdés’ first recorded sessions as a leader came in 1964 at the same EGREM releasing the tribute album. In 1967, Valdés was a founding member of Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna (Cuban Orchestra of Modern Music), his first all-star big band that played alongside singers from around the jazz world. It is in that experience that Valdés met the founding members of Irakere in 1973, and the rest is history.

ESPAÑOL Antes de formar la banda, Valdés produjo sus primeras sesiones grabadas en 1964 con la misma EGREM que ahora lanza el disco tributo. En 1967, Valdés fue miembro fundador de la Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna, la primera big band de estrellas de la isla, que tocó junto a cantantes de jazz de todo el mundo.

Durante los siguientes más de 40 años, Valdés llevó a Irakere a triunfar en el jazz mainstream con su particular fusión afrocubana de temas y sonidos.
LEYENDA VIVA
Still active at 80 years old, he has remained an essential reference for Cuban and Latin American music. Winner of nine Grammys, in 2018, Valdés received the Award for Musical Excellence given by the Latin Recording Academy, based in the United States. Chucho “never stopped dignifying Irakere’s legacy. That is why he continues to celebrate tributes to his mother band around the world, with a group formed by new generations of musicians who know well the meaning of being there, sharing the stage with the pianist and maintaining the languages inherited from the master and the rest of the band-icono caliber musicians,” said Cuban journalist Michel Hernández.

WAYS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CURRENT HOUSING MARKET HOME VALUES HAVE SEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE PAST YEAR-PLUS, OPENING THE DOOR TO MANY OPTIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS AND POTENTIAL HOMEBUYERS.
EL VALOR DE LA VIVIENDA HA EXPERIMENTADO UN INCREMENTO PRONUNCIADO EN EL ÚLTIMO AÑO, ABRIENDO DIVERSAS OPCIONES PARA PROPIETARIOS Y COMPRADORES POTENCIALES.
T
he housing market has seen a significant boom over the past 18 months, since the start of the pandemic. With record low interest rates and desires for living arrangements with more space, homeowners and first-time home buyers have searched feverishly to acquire the house of their dreams. As a result of this reality, prices for homes have seen a spike. In correlation, homeowners looking to stay put into their current homes have a unique opportunity to maximize their investment. These are some options for homeowners to cash in on their home’s rising value. • Cash Out Refinance - replacing your current mortgage with a larger one, at a lower interest rate • Traditional Refinance - reducing your monthly payment and overall cost of your home in the long run • No-Closing-Cost Refinance having up-front fees to cover expenses worked into a new mortgage • Tap Into Your Home Equity Options - providing predictable, fixed payments to achieve financial goals Homeowners who already have a great interest rate, but have equity in their home and want to make home improvements, remodel or use the money for other uses, can use a home equity loan or home equity line of credit as valuable resources. For homeowners who are feeling left out due to being unable to find a new home within their price range, or being
ENGLISH outbid multiple times despite the ability to sell their current home for well above its previous value, refinancing their current home is a great option. Here are a few reasons why: • Rates Are Still Very Low - a lower rate and monthly payment can boost your savings to the point where you can be ready for when the market eventually settles. A recent elimination of a refinance fee charged by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, made effective August 1, may enable you to get a much better rate than what you are currently paying. • You Can Refinance to Renovate - a mortgage refinance can free up cash to receive a lump sum for a renovation that meets your current living needs. A trusted mortgage advisor can help you look at different options that may work best for you. For major renovation projects, a Home Equity Line of Credit or Home Equity Loan can be valuable. • You Might Be Better Off Pocketing Your Extra Cash For Now with the combination of low rates, low inventory and bidding wars driving sale prices through the roof, holding onto your extra cash allows the ability to refinance your current home and start adding to those reserves for later. All of these options will allow homeowners and potential homebuyers to financially position themselves favorably to compete for homes when inventory levels start rising again.

l mercado de la vivienda ha experimentado un boom significativo durante los últimos 18 meses, desde el inicio de la pandemia. Con las tasas de interés más bajas que nunca y el deseo de conseguir una vivienda más espaciosa, los propietarios y compradores de primera vivienda se han puesto a buscar febrilmente la forma de adquirir la casa de sus sueños. Como resultado de esta realidad, los precios de las viviendas han experimentado un repunte. En correlación, los propietarios de viviendas que quieren permanecer en sus casas actuales tienen una oportunidad única de maximizar su inversión. Estas son algunas opciones para que los propietarios puedan sacar provecho del valor creciente de su casa. • Refinanciamiento en efectivo: reemplazar su hipoteca actual por una más grande, a una tasa de interés más baja • Refinanciamiento tradicional: reducir su pago mensual y el costo total de su hogar a largo plazo. • Refinanciamiento sin costo de cierre: tener comisiones por adelantado para cubrir los gastos incorporados en una nueva hipoteca. • Aproveche sus opciones sobre el valor neto de la vivienda: proporcione pagos fijos y predecibles para lograr sus objetivos financieros Los propietarios que ya tienen una buena tasa de interés, pero tienen liquidez y desean hacer mejoras, remodelar o emplear el dinero para otros usos, pueden usar un préstamo sobre el valor líquido de la vivienda o una línea de crédito sobre el valor acumulado de la vivienda como recursos valiosos. Para los propietarios de viviendas que se sienten excluidos debido a que no pueden encontrar una nueva casa dentro de su rango de precios,
o que su oferta ha sido descartada varias veces a pesar de la posibilidad de vender su vivienda actual por un precio muy superior a su valor anterior, refinanciar su vivienda actual es una excelente opción. Aquí hay algunas razones por las que le saldría a cuenta hacerlo: • Las tasas siguen siendo muy bajas: una tasa más baja y un pago mensual pueden aumentar sus ahorros hasta el punto en que pueda estar listo para cuando el mercado finalmente se estabilice. Una eliminación reciente de una tasa de refinanciamiento cobrada por la Agencia Federal de Financiamiento de la Vivienda, que entró en vigencia el 1 de agosto, puede permitirle obtener una tasa mucho mejor que la que está pagando actualmente. • Puede refinanciar para renovar: un refinanciamiento hipotecario puede liberar efectivo para recibir una suma global por una reforma que satisfaga sus necesidades de vida actuales. Un asesor hipotecario de confianza puede ayudarlo a buscar diferentes opciones que puedan funcionar mejor para usted. Para proyectos de reforma importantes, una línea de crédito con garantía hipotecaria o un préstamo con garantía hipotecaria puede resultar valiosa. • Podría ser mejor que se embolse su dinero extra por ahora: con la combinación de tasas bajas, inventario bajo y guerras de ofertas que impulsan los precios de venta por las nubes, conservar su efectivo adicional le permite refinanciar su casa actual y ahorrar para más adelante. Todas estas opciones permitirán a los propietarios y potenciales compradores de vivienda posicionarse económicamente de manera favorable para competir por viviendas cuando los niveles de inventario comiencen a aumentar nuevamente.

he Carnaval de Oruro in Oruro, Bolivia, is one of the longest-running Inidgenous festival celebrations in South America, officially beginning in the 18th century. Native ceremonies were banned by the Spanish crown in the 17th century, but Uru communities in present-day Bolivia and Peru still celebrated by masking the Indigenous icons with Catholic rituals. Today, the main attraction to the festival in Oruro are the Diabladas, which are a famous dance troupe in Bolivia that draw festival goers from all over the world. With the actual festival still canceled due to COVID-19 in 2021, the Diabladas kept the show going.

l Carnaval de Oruro, en Bolivia, es una de las celebraciones festivas indígenas más antiguas de Sudamérica, que comenzó oficialmente en el siglo
XVIII. Las ceremonias indígenas fueron prohibidas por la corona española en el siglo XVII, pero las comunidades uru de la actual Bolivia y Perú siguieron celebrándolo enmascarando los iconos indígenas con rituales católicos. En la actualidad, la principal atracción del festival de Oruro son las Diabladas, un famoso grupo de danza de Bolivia que atrae a asistentes de todo el mundo. Con el festival actual aún cancelado debido al COVID-19 en 2021, las Diabladas mantuvieron el espectáculo.
5 4-5- The Diablada and the Morenada are perhaps the best known dances of the Oruro carnival and represent a mixture of Andean and Catholic traditions. The Diablada, according to mythology, was born from the mining pits that are the realms of the devil and in each carnival the battle is fought between good, represented by the archangel Michael, and evil, by dozens of devils and she-devils. La Diablada y la Morenada son tal vez las danzas más conocidas del carnaval de Oruro y representan una mezcla de las tradiciones andinas y católicas. La Diablada, según la mitología, nació de los socavones mineros que son los reinos del diablo y en cada carnaval se libra la batalla entre el bien, representado por el arcángel Miguel, y el mal, por decenas de diablos y diablesas.

El ministro de Economía de Brasil, Paulo Guedes, también aparece en los Papeles de Pandora. Posee una empresa pantalla en las Islas Vírgenes Británicas desde 2014 con 9,5 millones de dólares. Pero Guedes asegura que “no hay ningún conflicto de intereses en ese asunto”.
Las empresas offshore son legales, pero moralmente reprobables. El ministro mantuvo la sociedad abierta incluso después de incorporarse al gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro y su puesto le otorgaba el poder para proponer cambios que podían afectar a sus inversiones en el exterior, por lo que podría haber incurrido en un conflicto de intereses. El Congreso brasileño ha citado a declarar a Guedes con 310 votos a favor y 142 en contra.
GOODBYE COLUMBUS FOR GOOD? From pag. 10 |
in Quito, Ecuador, where Indigenous leaders from across the Americas proclaimed the 500 years anniversary of Columbus’ voyage in 1492 as the year to kick off the liberation fight. In the present, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Oct. 8 that the announcement of a federal Indigenous Peoples Day didn’t mean an official end to Columbus Day. For now, both holidays would be celebrated.
A HISTORY OF CONFLICT
In the long run, however, recognizing such polar opposite occasions is bound to bring conflict as it has in the past. On the 500-year anniversary of Columbus’ voyage in 1992, there was a planned demonstration to be held in the San Francisco Bay area with replica ships sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge. In response, the local Indian Alliance in the Bay Area called the formation of the ‘Resistance 500’ Task Force

ENGLISH
to flip the script on the glamor painted about Columbus’ voyage — recognizing his ‘discovery’ of the New World, but also addressing the very real history of genocide that followed. That same year, Berkeley, California enacted and carried out the first edition of Indigenous Peoples Day in the form of a ‘Day of Solidarity with Indigenous People,’ on Oct. 12. In 2021, places like New York City and Philadelphia recognized both days sideby-side. The former lit up the tops of the Empire State Building and One Vanderbilt with the colors of the Italian flag, and the latter held an Italian festival in front of a boxed-up Columbus statue at Marconi Plaza and elsewhere in South Philly. The statue became a focal point during 2020’s George Floyd protests, and the city responded by ordering it removed, only to have a judge shoot the removal down. The court battle now is over if the box can stay over the statue of the polarizing historical figure.

cia India celebrada en Quito, Ecuador, donde líderes indígenas de todas las Américas proclamaron el 500 aniversario del viaje de Colón en 1492 como el año para dar inicio a la lucha por la liberación. La secretaria de prensa de la Casa Blanca, Jen Psaki, dijo a los periodistas el viernes que el anuncio no significaba el fin oficial del Día de la Raza como fiesta federal, y que por ahora el día es un reconocimiento de ambos.
UNA HISTORIA CONFLICTIVA
Sin embargo, a largo plazo, reconocer episodios tan opuestos está destinado a generar conflictos, como ya ocurrió en el pasado. Para celebrar el 500 aniversario del descubrimiento de América por Colón, en 1992, se organizó en el área de la Bahía de San Francisco un espectáculo con réplicas de buques de la época navegando bajo el puente Golden Gate. En respuesta, la Alianza India local en el Área de la Bahía llamó a la formación del Grupo de Trabajo ‘Resistencia 500’ para darle la vuelta al
guion que hablaba solo del glamour del viaje de no abordaba la historia real de genocidio que lo siguió. Ese mismo año, la ciudad de Berkeley, California promulgó y llevó a cabo la primera edición del Día de los Pueblos Indígenas en la forma de un “Día de Solidaridad con los Pueblos Indígenas”, el 12 de octubre. En 2021, lugares como la ciudad de Nueva York y Filadelfia decidieron reconocer ambas conmemoraciones el mismo día. En Nueva York se iluminó la parte superior del Empire State Building y del One Vanderbilt con los colores de la bandera italiana, y en Filadelfia se celebró un festival italiano frente a una estatua de Colón encajonada en Marconi Plaza y en otros lugares del sur de Filadelfia. La estatua se convirtió en centro de atención durante las protestas por el asesinato de George Floyd de 2020, y la ciudad respondió ordenando su retirada, si se conseguía la aprobación de un juez. La batalla judicial está ahora en si la polémica estatua puede permanecer en el mismo sitio, pero tapiada de madera.

T
he statue of Christopher Columbus remained covered by a wooden structure during Columbus Day celebrations in Philadelphia. The monument, located in Marconi Plaza, has remained that way since last summer when, during protests over the assassination of George Floyd, supporters of the statue -with guns and batsclashed with people trying to vandalize it. And although Mayor Jim Kenney has been trying for more than a year to remove the statue permanently because it represents a “public safety” problem, he has not been allowed to do so. What he did manage to do earlier this year was to put an end to Columbus Day in Philadelphia. By executive order, starting this year it will be renamed Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The decision is just one of many that seek to revise what Columbus represents in times of historical revisionism. In an investigation by The Washington Post and MIT, it was found that 40 Columbus monuments were removed between 2020 and 2021. According to the report, 130 remain standing. There are more than 60 cities and counties in the U.S. that pay tribute to Columbus. There are some 6,000 references to the Genoese throughout the country, and after Lincoln and Washington he is the most commemorated character. In reality, Columbus came to prominence hundreds of years after the “discovery”, when patriots were looking for a figure to amalgamate the new country. It

ENGLISH was enough that he was not British. Soon the country was filled with references. The figure of Columbus in the U.S. would later serve the Italian Americans and Catholics who were seen as inferior to the northern Europeans, because just as they saw Columbus as a hero and a symbol of American identity, the new Italians could also fit in. The problem is that for the communities these symbols represent violence, racism and genocide. Columbus himself was accused of tyranny - he almost exterminated the Taino Indians - and was removed as governor of Hispaniola. This episode puts us again in the dilemma of which story to accept, that of a genius in cartography who acted according to a system of beliefs and values different from today’s, or a barbarian with a personal responsibility, because even for his time he went too far. And what if we understand both sides of the coin and act with respect, something that 429 years later we have not been able to achieve.

a estatua de Cristóbal Colón permaneció cubierta por una estructura de madera durante las celebraciones del Columbus Day en Filadelfia. El monumento ubicado en la Plaza Marconi permanece así desde el verano de 2020, cuando, durante las protestas por el asesinato de George Floyd, se enfrentaron partidarios defensores de la estatua -con armas y bates- y personas que intentaban vandalizarla. Y aunque el alcalde Jim Kenney ha intentado remover definitivamente la estatua desde hace más de un año, pues representa un problema de “seguridad pública”, no le ha sido permitido. Lo que sí logró a principios del año fue acabar con el Columbus Day en Filadelfia. Por orden ejecutiva, a partir de este año pasó a llamarse ‘Día de los pueblos indígenas’. La decisión es solo una de muchas que pretenden revisar lo que representa Colón en tiempos de revisionismo histórico.
Starting this year it was renamed to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Por orden ejecutiva, a partir de este año pasó a llamarse Día de los pueblos indígenas en Filadelfia.
En una investigación del The Washington Post y MIT se encontró que 40 monumentos de Colón fueron removidos entre 2020 y 2021. Según el informe, quedan en pie 130. En Estados Unidos, más de 60 ciudades y condados le rinden tributo. Existen unas 6.000 referencias al genovés por todo el país, y después de Lincoln y Washington es el personaje más rememorado. En realidad, Colón cobró importancia cientos de años después del “descubrimiento”, cuando los patriotas buscaban una figura que amalgamara al nuevo país. Con que no fuera británico bastaba. Pronto el país se llenó de referencias. La figura de Colón en Estados Unidos serviría después a los italoamericanos y católicos que eran vistos como inferiores a los europeos del norte, pues así como veían a Colón como un héroe y un símbolo de identidad americana, los nuevos Italianos también podían encajar. El problema es que para las comunidades estos símbolos representan violencia, racismo y genocidio. El mismo Colón fue acusado de tiranía -casi exterminó a los indios taínos- y fue destituido como gobernador de La Española. Este episodio nos pone de nuevo en la disyuntiva sobre qué historia acoger, la de un genio en cartografía que actuaba de acuerdo con un sistema de creencias y valores diferentes a los actuales, o un bárbaro con una responsabilidad personal, porque hasta para su época se le fue la mano. Y qué tal si entendemos las dos caras de la moneda y actuamos con respeto, algo que 429 años después no hemos logrado conseguir. OCTOBER 20 - 27, 2021

he world is getting older and older. According to the World Bank, the population over 65 years of age accounts for 9% of the total global population, a percentage that will continue to rise in the following years. In Europe, for example, statistics show this reality. By 2030, the European Union will increase the number of workers over 50 to 55% of its total workforce. By 2040, spending on healthcare and pensions will increase 2.3 percentage points. Some of its countries already occupy the top 10 positions of the lowest birth rate in the world and 36% of the population will be over 65 by 2050. In the United States, as in Europe, the increase in the elderly population is related to the fall in the birth rate. It is even suggested that immigration would be a central factor in balancing aging with the working-age population. Another issue is the condition of old age. According to the World Health Organization, a considerable percentage of the elderly suffer from dementia and depression that are not treated or recognized by health systems. Added to this is the inability to carry out basic daily activities independently and not having the guidance of appropriate caregivers, isolating them from a society indifferent to this problem. Without a doubt, the debts with the old age are not only of the governments. Responsibilities for the sustainability of our finances, the discipline of our self-care and the debt with the discovery of our talents, hobbies, goals and life project rest in our consciences. Chilean writer and researcher Pilar Sordo inquired about old age in Latin America and reflected it in her book ‘I do not want to grow old. The keys to living fully and enjoying the passage of time.’ She assures that we grow old when we live more on memories than on projects. Aging is one of the few things that every human being has guaranteed from birth and, paradoxically, it is what we least prepare for. If from childhood we understand that day by day we cultivate what will endure us in old age, perhaps we will learn to be less sad adolescents, less unconscious young people, less irresponsible adults and, of course, less self-conscious old men.

The world’s population is aging, but the situation is most noticeable in Europe and the United States. The migration of young people from other latitudes is an alternative. Gettyimages La población del mundo está envejeciendo, pero la situación es más notoria en Europa y Estados Unidos. La migración de jóvenes de otras latitudes es una alternativa. Gettyimages
The increase in the elderly population is related to the fall in the birth rate. El aumento de la población mayor guarda relación con la caída en la tasa de natalidad.
l mundo se vuelve cada vez más viejo. Según el Banco Mundial, la población de más de 65 años suma el 9% del total de la población global, porcentaje que se mantendrá en ascenso en los siguientes años. En Europa, por ejemplo, las estadísticas dan cuenta de esta realidad. Al 2030, la Unión Europea aumentará el número de trabajadores de más de 50 años al 55% de su mano de obra total. Para 2040 aumentará 2,3 puntos porcentuales el gasto en atención sanitaria y en pensiones. Algunos de sus países ocupan ya los 10 primeros puestos de la más baja natalidad en el mundo y el 36% de la población tendrá más de 65 años para el 2050. En Estados Unidos, como en Europa, el aumento de la población mayor guarda relación con la caída en la tasa de natalidad. Incluso, se plantea que la inmigración sería un factor central para equilibrar el envejecimiento con la población en edad de trabajar. Otro asunto es la condición propia de la vejez. De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud, en un porcentaje considerable los viejos sufren demencia y depresión que no son tratadas, ni reconocidas por los sistemas de sanidad. A esto se suma la incapacidad de realizar actividades cotidianas básicas de forma independiente y no contar con la guía de cuidadores apropiados, aislándolos de una sociedad indiferente a esta problemática. Sin duda alguna, las deudas con la vejez no son solo de los estados. En nuestras conciencias reposan responsabilidades sobre la sostenibilidad de nuestras finanzas, la disciplina de nuestro autocuidado y la deuda con el descubrimiento de nuestros talentos, hobbies, metas y proyecto de vida. La escritora e investigadora chilena Pilar Sordo indagó sobre la vejez en América Latina y lo plasmó en su libro ‘No quiero envejecer. Las claves para vivir plenamente y disfrutar del paso del tiempo’. Asegura que uno envejece cuando vive más de recuerdos que de proyectos. Envejecer es una de las pocas cosas que todo ser humano tiene seguro desde que nace y, paradójicamente, es para lo que menos nos preparamos. Si desde niños entendemos que día a día cultivamos lo que nos va a soportar en la vejez, tal vez aprendamos a ser adolescentes menos tristes, jóvenes menos inconscientes, adultos menos irresponsables y, por supuesto, viejos menos acomplejados.

“G-WHAT-A-COW:” ENGLISH PHONETICS OF MY NON SPANISH LAST NAME
I celebrate my “Indigineous People Day” sharing this old anecdote about my Native American last name.
Celebro mi “Día de los Pueblos Indígenas” compartiendo esta vieja anécdota sobre mi apellido nativo americano.
W
hen Christophoros Colombus came to America, we were forced to learn and use only the five vowels that make the Spanish language so easy to pronounce. Easy, indeed, when compared to the 14 vowels we native Spanish-language speakers have such a hard time figuring out when using the English language. We first heard this confusing set of new vowels through the expletives of English buccaneers roaming the Caribbean and stealing as often as they could from the Spanish Galeones. It was during the 16th and 17th centuries on those ships returning to Europe — packed with the gold previously stolen from the Indians — that we heard pirates speaking Spanglish for the first time, if only to subdue the King of Spain’s soldiers taken by surprise by the much faster English pirates. The Native Americans, on the contrary, spoke hundreds of native languages, God only knows how many vowels were built into mysterious consonants, perhaps imitating the music from the winds blowing over the Andes, or the thousands of species clamoring deep in the jungles. Without the rules of a written language, each day must’ve been a day to improvise, improve a new sound, form a new word, and create a new meaning. The Babel of our native sounds in the Americas was finally called to order by the straightforward five Spanish vowels, simple enough to make natives and colonizers agree, as they could understand each other much faster. Once Spanish became the Lingua Franca, the new rulers were free to get rid of the nuances and impose a simplistic system of sounds and meanings that made them, for example, owners of the land, and the only purveyors of fear through a new religion that spoke
ENGLISH about damnation, and an army ready to inflict death with muskets and spears on those who dare to revolt. The huge continent called America accepted the new language exported by the tiny province of Castilla, in northern Spain. El Castellano was made the official language of the Spanish Empire in the new continent. We, native inhabitants of the land, had no other choice but to gradually give up our native dialects, whose traces are however survived in a few Hispanicized Indian words. Like “Guararé,” Guaricó,” “Guaynabo,” or “Guantánamo,” names of different and distant places in Panamá, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. It even happened in some family names. Family names that “triumphed over the grave” once the Conquistadores returned to Spain with the gold — not before leaving devastation behind: They annihilated the Indians, and replaced them with slaves brought from Africa so they could exploit the best lands taken from the defeated Indians.

uando Cristóbal Colón llegó a América, nos vimos obligados a aprender y usar solo las cinco vocales que hacen que el idioma español sea tan fácil de pronunciar. Fácil, de hecho, en comparación con las catorce vocales que a nosotros, los que tenemos el español como lengua materna, nos cuesta tanto entender a la hora de pronunciar el idioma inglés. Escuchamos por primera vez este confuso conjunto de nuevas vocales a través de los improperios de los bucaneros ingleses que vagaban por el Caribe y robaban tan a menudo como podían a los galeones españoles. Fue en los siglos XVI y XVII, en aquellos barcos que regresaban a Europa, cargados con el oro previamente robado a los indios, cuando oímos a los piratas hablar en spanglish por primera vez, aunque sólo fuera para someter a los soldados del Rey de España capturados por sorpresa por el piratas ingleses, mucho más rápidos. Los nativos americanos, por el contrario, hablaban cientos de lenguas propias, solo Dios sabe con cuántas vocales convertidas en consonantes misteriosas, tal vez imitando la música de los vientos que soplan sobre los Andes, o las miles de especies que habitan en

lo profundo de las selvas. Sin las reglas de un lenguaje escrito, cada día debía ser un día para improvisar y mejorar un nuevo sonido, y formar una nueva palabra y crear un nuevo significado. La torre de Babel de nuestros sonidos nativos en las Américas fue finalmente llamada al orden por las cinco sencillas vocales españolas, lo suficientemente simples como para hacer que los nativos y los colonizadores se pusieran de acuerdo, ya que podían entenderse mucho más rápido. Una vez que el español se convirtió en Lingua Franca, los nuevos gobernantes fueron libres de deshacerse de los matices e imponer el sistema simplista de sonidos y significados que los convertía, por ejemplo, en dueños de la tierra y en los únicos proveedores de miedo a través de una nueva religión que hablaba de maldiciones y condenas, y de un ejército dispuesto a infligir la muerte con mosquetes y lanzas a los que se atrevían a rebelarse. El enorme continente llamado América aceptó el nuevo idioma exportado por la, en comparación, pequeña provincia de Castilla, en el norte de España. El castellano se convirtió en el idioma oficial del imperio español en el nuevo continente. Nosotros, los habitantes nativos de la tierra, no tuvimos más remedio que ir abandonando gradualmente nuestros dialectos nativos, cuyas huellas, sin embargo, se conservan en unas pocas palabras indias hispanizadas. Palabras como “Guararé”, “Guaricó ”,“Guaynabo ”, o“ Guantánamo ”, correspondientes a nombres de lugares distintos y lejanos en Panamá, Venezuela, Puerto Rico y Cuba, o incluso en algunos apellidos. Apellidos que “triunfaron sobre la tumba” una vez que los conquistadores regresaron a España con el oro, no sin antes dejar atrás la devastación: aniquilaron a los indígenas, los reemplazaron con esclavos traídos de África, para que pudieran explotar las mejores tierras arrebatadas a los indígeContinúa pág. 43 |

CIERRE IN CLOSING From pag. 42 |
for example — neither Spanish nor English — which up to today, makes both Spanish and English speakers cringe at the pronunciation of its morphology: GUARACAO, a family name from the proud GUANE Tribe, today’s Province of Santander, in Eastern Colombia. Learning English late in my life allowed me to discover the secret connection between the phonetics of the 2 languages I now speak. The Hispanicized sounds from my very uncommon last name, I found out, were both in English and the Spanish pronunciations. However, they were represented by different signs, and it made it tricky for anyone to pronounce correctly on the first try. Not certainly for the bullies in the school when I was growing up, who ridiculed its sound as it resembled “Guaraguao” (a Taíno word that means avian predator), or suggested something of lesser quality because the Spanish colony and new language semantics had determined so. Today, I make people smile when I break the mystery down this way in North America: -“When you go to Lancaster, PA, and you see a big Holstein cow… What do you say?” -Uh, big cow, I guess... -No...Think again: When the cow is a really big, BIG cow. What do you say?” -What a cow! -Exactly!: What-A-Cow. Add a letter “G” in front and that’s it: You will have the perfect Spanish-language pronunciation of my last name:
ENGLISH
“G-What-A-Cow”. Spain and England finally reconciled — yes, only in America! — where perhaps the clashes of the two languages at war for five centuries may finally settle their grievances as they did in the gentle phonetics of my Indigineous last name pronunciation. I am definitely optimistic about what is next for America, as in the new cen-

Apellidos indígenas como el mío, por ejemplo, —ni español ni inglés— que hasta el día de hoy hace temblar tanto a los hispanohablantes como a los ingleses ante la pronunciación de su morfología: GUARACAO, un apellido de la orgullosa tribu GUANE, actual provincia de Santander, al este de Colombia.

Aprender inglés de mayor me permitió descubrir la conexión secreta de su fonética con mi idioma materno. Descubrí que el sonido hispanizado de mi poco común apellido existía tanto en inglés como en español. Sin embargo, al estar representado por diferentes signos, dificultaba que
cualquiera pudiera pronunciarlo correctamente en el primer intento. Empezando por los matones de mi escuela cuando era niño, quienes ridiculizaban mi apellido porque sonaba parecido a “Guaraguao” (una palabra taína que significa ave depredadora), o sugería algo de poca calidad, ya que la colonia española y la semántica del nuevo idioma así lo habían determinado. Hoy hago reír a los angloparlantes cuando analizo el misterio de la pronunciación de mi apellido en América del Norte: - “Si vas a Lancaster, Pensilvania, y ves una gran vaca Holstein... ¿Qué dices?” -Uh, una gran vaca, supongo... -No... Piensa de nuevo: si se trata de una vaca realmente GRANDE. ¿Qué dices?” -¡Menuda vaca! (What a cow!) -¡Exacto!: What-A-Cow. Agrega una letra “G” delante y listo: Tendrás la pronunciación perfecta en español de mi apellido: “G-What-A-Cow”. España e Inglaterra finalmente se reconciliaron —¡sí, solo en América! —donde quizás las dos lenguas, en guerra durante cinco siglos, finalmente resuelvan sus diferencias, como lo hicieron con la suave fonética de la pronunciación de mi apellido indígena. Definitivamente soy optimista a la hora de pensar en el futuro de Estados Unidos, teniendo en cuenta que en el nuevo siglo comenzamos a reconocer la diferencia entre Cristóbal Colón y mis antepasados, como lo hicieron la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris y el presidente Joe Biden declarando el 11 de octubre “Día de los Pueblos Indígenas” en una proclamación inesperada de la Casa Blanca.
