HyphenaciónAm I Bilingual Enough?Younger generations of Latinos are openly talking about their strained bilingual journeys, calling themselves either “pocho or pocha” or “no sabo kids,” both of which allude to a lack of Spanish fluency. For many U.S. Latinos, struggling with Spanish begs questions about identity and feeling truly connected to their culture. At the same time, Spanish-dominant Latinos in the U.S. face a different set of challenges with finding belonging as they navigate an English-forward society. Both sides are contending with language barriers, so how do we stand strong in ourselves and our native tongues? This week on Hyphenación, host X...2025-06-0331 min

HyphenaciónWhat’s Life Really Like on the US-Mexico Border?The U.S.-Mexico border has been a central issue in recent decades of American politics.

This week on Hyphenación, Host Xorje Olivares gathers with two other fronterizas, artist natalia ventura and filmmaker Robie Flores, who were also born and bred along the border.

HyphenaciónPapeles: What Does U.S. Citizenship Mean Today?Documentation in the U.S. divides the Latino community between those whose existence in this country is permitted and those who are criminalized for their very presence. This line of legality has been drawn deeper and has changed quickly during the second Trump administration.
