About this episode

The episode discusses Latinx activism during the 1994 World Cup in the U.S. and compares it to potential responses for the 2026 tournament.

119. Latinx Activism at USA 1994We're joined by Professor Celso Thomas Castilho to talk about Latin American activism during the 1994 World Cup in the United States, a response to a series of aggressive police crackdowns in Latinx communities who were celebrating victories for their respective national teams. With Celso's latest NACLA article in mind, we compare this activism with responses to World Cup 2026 and our thoughts on how resistance may play out at this tournament.
