32: Immigration and Identity with Belén
Update: 2021-05-08
Description
We're joined by the amazing Belén Suárez, a friend of the podcast and UK-based Bolivian. In this episode, lots of notes were taken... it's a good one.
Belén took some time out from her MA in Race and Resistance to deconstruct the migrant experience in the UK, Spain and wider afield with us. She shares her perspective on the heavy politicisation of borders, how charity tourism is the worst, and the misrepresentation of refugees in media. We discuss finding community away from the homeland, finding your identity again and the role of assimilation.
So pick up a steaming cup of coffee and sit with us in this packed episode (sans Stacey who we missed this ep).
