We\u2019re back for season 4 of Writing Latinos! Our first guest is Jazmine Ulloa, a national political reporter for\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0who just published her first book. Titled\u00a0El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory\u00a0(from Dutton), it\u2019s a moving portrayal of her hometown. The 2019 shooting by a self-described white supremacist at a Walmart in El Paso, which left more than 23 dead and 22 injured, haunts Ulloa\u2019s narrative and is the point of departure for her exploration of the city\u2019s history over the past 150 years. From the Mexican\u2013American War, to the dictatorship of Porfirio D\u00edaz, to the charismatic healer Teresa Urrea\u2014also known as La Santa de Cab\u00f3ra\u2014and to the anarchist Flores Mag\u00f3n brothers, Ulloa shows how El Paso has long been at the center of US and Mexican histories of immigration, race, capitalism, and empire. We talk about the tragedy at Walmart, how her family ended up in El Paso, and her views on the relationship between history and journalism.<\/p>\n
