This episode focuses on the history of San Luis Potosi and the experience of my grandma, who I refer to as buelita, in the land. This episode tackles questions over identity and culture especially in a country that struggles with anti-Indigeneity in the face of mestizaje rhetoric. A very special thank you to my buelita for taking the time to talk to me and advise me throughout my research, I hope to continue to learn more about her homeland.
