Hola Bloomington - July 2, 2010

Hosts Carlos Gonzalez and Jenny Gibson welcome Jose Castro-Urioste, award-winning Peruvian author and scholar. Castro-Urioste's latest book "And What Have You Done?" tells the story of Tito and his journey from his hometown Tacna, Peru to the capital, Lima and then Canada and the United States. Translated into English by Enrica Ardemagni, Castro-Urioste's novel is now available to U.S. audiences. Hola Bloomington also offers news provided by Democracy Now! and we highlight this week's local community events and volunteer opportunities in a segment prepared by Jenny Gibson and Daniel Soto. Also featured: cultural segments produced by Nuevos Horizontes, a program of the University of Illinois Extension, and another local installment of Efemerides celebrating significant moments in Latin American history.
