New book highlights Latino communities in New Jersey

On this edition of Tiempo, we take a look at a new book highlighting Latino communities in the Garden State and the inspiration behind the literature. The book "Latinas/os in New Jersey: Histories, Communities and Cultures" is a compilation of research writings that explore a wide range of topics about New Jersey's Latinos and Latinas, including their migration to the Garden State. Joining us to discuss is Aldo A. Lauria-Santiago, one of the book's co-editors and a professor in the Department of Latino and Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University. Meanwhile, immigration enforcement agents took an 18-year-old Latino man from a Bronx apartment, and now he's in El Salvador's most notorious prison. Tiempo has a special report with the man's anguished father, who is still searching for answers. Also on our program, a group of New Jersey teens spent their spring break in Honduras on a humanitarian mission. On the trip, the group helped construct a community kitchen and center for Hondurans. We speak to them about the experience and the nonprofit who helped organized the trip. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
