In this episode, DMP collaborator Juan Diaz-Mercado interviews Loyola  Marymount University lecturer and University of Colorado at Boulder  doctoral candidate, Prof. Rebecca Avalos about her research on Trump's  "Make America Great Again" racial project, with a focus specifically on  Latinx communities, racial logics, nationalism, migration, and borders.  Avalos describes how historical racial scripts aggravate laws and how  Latinx subjects shift within these power matrices as embodiments of  illegalities. Avalos argues that brown bodies often represent the latest  trend of capitalism and tokenism as power shapes knowledge. She  elaborates upon how politics and racialized rhetoric can dar animo to create the conditions under which rights can be stripped away from  Others as a reaction to the browning of the U.S. to attempt to preserve  white futurity and centrality. Prof. Avalos discusses why context,  relationships, and power dynamics matter in the practice of calling out  to call in others when confronting micro/aggressions.
