Scholars’ Corner by <b>Irene I. Vega</b>

My experience with the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education (AAHHE) began in the summer of 2005. I was living in Washington, D.C., completing the last couple of weeks of a fellowship with the Bert Corona Leadership Institute, a nonprofit organization that provides civic education and political empowerment programs for immigrant and migrant youth.

University of Illinois at Chicago’s Luis Alberto Urrea: From Despair to Acclaim, <b> Clay Latimer </b>

It was February 1982 and Luis Alberto Urrea, 26-year-old University of California- San Diego graduate, was doing full-time relief work with shanty dwellers in Tijuana’s wretched city dump. Surrounded by surreal squalor during the day, Urrea slept on relatives’ couches in Southern California at night, broke and depressed and worried about his future.

Baby Doc’s Second Act by <b> Carlos D. Conde </b>

Youheard the one about the three biggest lies in the world? “Of course, I’ll still love you in the morning.” “The check is in the mail.” “I’m from the federal government and I’m here to help.” That last one can be applied in a somewhat similar context to Jean- Claude Duvalier, the former president of Haiti who showed up unexpectedly in Port-au-Prince in January saying he was so moved by the current plight of his countrymen that he had to come home to help them.
