How Mexicans Became Catholics

Also the reason why most of us carry a Spanish surname: colonization. And to be clear, colonization was never a peaceful “meeting of two worlds” but an extremely violent and traumatic experience endured by our ancestors.

Adding insult to injury, Pope Francis is to canonize Spanish missionary Junipero Serra as a “tribute to Hispanic Americans.” But somehow he’s is celebrated as the “radical Pope”? We’re not buying it, and neither should you.

Elsa Medina says that her photographs are her right for expression. Sometimes images convey meanings that no words can.  She is one of Mexico’s most important photojournalists and has been working extensively at bordertowns following the immigrant routes crossing into the USA.

Where to Eat in Mexico? The Street! 

Location: Mexico City, Mexico

Tlacoyos, Tlayudas, Quesadillas…the magic happens on the comal. For all you people saving up for a Wolf range or a Viking stove, forget about it! Some of the world’s best food is made on a simple, circular sheet of metal set atop a single burner or a pile of coal. On this flat surface and the most basic kitchen tools, the freshest of Mexican food is cooked up on every street corner, day and night. Our favorite was the tlacoyo, a football shaped masa cake filled with refried beans or fava bean purée. Right before serving, these babies are topped with cactus salad, salty cotija cheese and salsa.

Tierra De Carteles - Cartel Land (Documental Completo) 2015  

Cartel Land (2015) es un documental dirigido por Matthew Heineman y producido por Kathryn Bigelow que cuenta la perturbadora historia de los grupos de autodefensa en Michoacán. El filme obtuvo los premios a Mejor Director y Mejor Fotografía en la categoría de documental en el Festival de Sundance 2015.

Durante más de un año el documentalista norteamericano Matthew Heineman acompañó al Dr. José Manuel Mireles en su lucha contra los cárteles michoacanos. Su documental podría significar la liberación del “único preso político mexicano” -dice oportunistamente Ciro Gómez, para curarse en salud de sus críticas contra los autodefensas-, mientras Carlos Puig entrevista al autor y califica su trabajo como excepcional.
