Five articles with a diverse view of what it means to be from Latin America and Spain, on Fake Flamenco. Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month is September 15 – October 15.
How will you celebrate; with food, music, a book, a film perhaps?
I will celebrate by researching women playwrights from Latin America; a subject I realize I know very little about. I just read that Rosario Castellanos, a favorite Mexican writers, was also a playwright. More on this subject soon!

That map is eye-opening. I had no idea. I haven’t read a single one of those articles yet, Rebecca, but I’ve put them aside for later. Fascinating stuff.

This is the first time I’m seeing the 1810 map of North America. Thanks for sharing. I had no plans for celebrating Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month, but at your invitation, I’m going to read the novel, In the Belly of the Horse by Eliana Tobias that I recently ordered. I learned about her book through her blog at https://elianatobias.com/. She was born in Santiago, Chile, and now lives in Vancouver, Canada.

Thanks for your comments, Rosaliene. That sounds like a great celebration of this month! I look forward to your comments on it. You might check out the article about territories held by Spain I listed in the comments. 🙂

I’m not Latina, but these are great articles! I got a work email today about Hispanic Heritage Month, as the department I work for has and serves a large majority of the Latino community. I hope to learn more in order to celebrate and support others!
