I was exploring this small historic town in a Spanish language LatAm country recently. It's frequented primarily by local tourists from the closest large metropolis, mostly on the weekends. There's plentiful vegan/vegetarian eateries, an old cathedral square, and lots of natural beauty in the vicinity, etc. It's got that old-urbanism charm with nothing over ~3-4 stories tall. So while I was exploring the place walking around, I stumbled into this cafe / book shop place. They had a coffee bar area, some books, reusable water bottles with local art, various notepads and sketchpads, some jewelry based on pre-Columbian art in a display case, etc.

As I'm looking around, I catch a glimpse of the book for sale. "Mi Lucha" in that chunky red Wolfenstein font and Adolf's face on the cover. I was a bit shocked. Noped the fuck out of there as casually as possible. Just a very WTF moment.

Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.
