Probing the relationship between political and artistic identity, Spanish-born author Juan Goytisolo investigates rarely explored concepts at the heart of Spanish and Latin American culture. This program presents an overview of Goytisolo's outlook on past and present social dilemmas and their connection with his self-exile from his home country. The author of The Young Assassins, Marks of Identity, and Juan the Landless sheds light on artistic and political oppression under Franco and his prescience about the way Spanish fascism would eventually crumble. He also discusses his experiences in France and New York, as well as his views on Latin American anti-colonial movements. (Spanish with English subtitles, 24 minutes)
