Stories of struggle, resilience and hope of migrants seeking a better future, facing cultural, legal and personal challenges in new horizons.  What happen when we cross borders that separate not only countries, but also cultures, languages, and ways of living? Today I'm talking about cultural identity in migrants. How they transform, fragment, and reconstruct...

This is a literary journey without borders. Each episode I explore a work, an author or a literary movement from different corners of the planet.

Did you know that the hot dog is another contribution from migrants? The frankfurter sausage, with a protected designation of demographic origin since 1860, is the original hot dog sausage in Germany..

The Gestapo, the secret police of the Third Reich, operated without judicial oversight, using surveillance, intimidation, and forced disappearances to eliminate opposition to the regime. Although the circumstances are different, the tactics of repression and social control have certain similarities.

Before the merciless civil war and subsequent dictatorship, there was a generation of teachers with a new way of understanding education that spread during the first years of the Second Republic.

I think it's confirmed that when the far right rises, lefties play along by implementing the same measures.

Today, I am talking about something simple—but powerful: how a fruit became the symbol of racism.
