Pues nada, Asturianos en la diáspora, que como no somos pobres de solemnidad no se nos puede considerar emigrantes y como además (algunos) tenemos una educación somos unos niños mimados. Encima de cornudos, apaleados... No voy a entrar una vez más en la discusión del término “emigración”, pero repit...

El análisis de Art sobre la complicada ecuación: “emigración + politica” me parece una reflexión muy lúcida sobre algo que todos los asturianos que vivimos fuera de Asturias estamos viviendo en carne propia.

We already covered Tampa in the First Symposium, so a geografical change would pobably be advisable. Of course w...

News really travel fast!! I was going to let you all know about this initiative today, thinking it is going to be a big surprise, and I am the one who is very surprised to see it on the news. ASUSA (Asturianos en USA) was formed two days ago (hence my surprise to see it in the news) by a group of As...

Hola: I found your comments about the term "Hispanic" very interesting. There is a whole line of criticism devoted to just that; defining the term Hispanic--I can share some titles if some of you are interested. But it is always funny to see how the term seems to divide more than unite the...
