An article about the song we listened to in class called “La Bestia” (translation “The Beast”). It’s a song commissioned by the U.S. government to try to discourage Central Americans from taking the train (a.k.a. “La Bestia”) through Mexico to the U.S. border – http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/07/12/how-the-government-is-using-subliminal-songs-to-scare-central-american-immigrants.html

A series of images of retablos, or the devotional painting done by Mexican migrants to express gratitude for what they see as divine intervention that helped them across the border. The Camacho article opens with a discussion of one of these retablos – http://www.journalofamericanhistory.org/projects/mexico/retablos.html
