“Mexico just needs more journalists, and especially more good places to publish and exhibit. There are all kinds of censorship practiced in Mexico, not just violent repression.

They endlessly saturate the country with propaganda and inanity.” KindCountryThreatViolentAll KindsJournalismJournalistPropagandaCensorshipPublish Author:Francisco Goldman
“There's a certain advantage to living in a small country like Guatemala, I think. You don't feel so distant from political reality there. When things happen, they almost seem to happen on a Shakespearian stage with the audience so close they can become actors too. This is partly what Joseph Brodsky meant when he wrote that small countries have big politics.” ThinkingCountryRealityPoliticalAudienceThings Happen Author:Francisco Goldman
