This week, historian and author Kelly Lytle Hernández sits down with writer Michael Zapata to discuss her book <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/628/9781324004370" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire, and Revolution in the Borderlands</a>. The recently released book fills in one of the largest gaps in our history textbooks: the 1910 Mexican Revolution, which remade both Mexico and the United States.



This conversation originally took place May 15, 2022 at the inaugural <a href="https://americanwritersmuseum.org/american-writers-festival/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">American Writers Festival</a> and was recorded live.

Episode 113: Joy Harjo and Marie Arana

In this weekly series, we air previously recorded conversations with leading authors, poets, graphic novelists, playwrights, songwriters, historians and more about craft, processes, influences, inspirations, and what it's like to live as a writer. These episodes are edited and condensed versions of our programs and they are a great way to discover new writers, listen to a program you missed, or relive a program that you loved!
