In this episode we talk about the historical fiction novela, Ramona, based on the novel by Helen Hunt Jackson, by the same name. We discuss the turmoil of California in the 1850s, as countless Mexican and Native people were displaced by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and we'll explore how racial discrimination plays a part in the story of Romona and Alejandro.
