This is part of a series on South-South Globalisation and publishing stories from a diverse group of students at the University of Oxford on identity, race, nationality, language and all the gritty and undefined areas in between all of these in the spaces we move through either by chance or out of necessity.
Mexico and the US share a complicated relationship, to say the very least. And between and beyond borders, millions of people redefine and reevaluate their relationships with their respective countries, languages, customs and values. I recently embraced my Mexican-American identity and I hope that through education we can help end the prejudices people from both countries hold against those who can’t speak Spanish or English perfectly or aren’t “Mexican” or “American” enough.
From the South-South Globalisation Podcast page: Temitope Ajileye, DPhil student at Wolfson, will host a podcast which will tell stories of contacts, movements, and exchanges of people, capital and ideas between countries that are part of the Global South.
