Pablo Gonzalez, co-director of ISSI's Graduate Fellows Program, edited the sixth volume of Digna Rabia, a journal of oral histories and research papers by Chicana/o/x Studies students. "Taken from the Zapatista slogan, Digna Rabia, believes that our word is truly our weapon. But our stories also heal. They also keep our word alive. […] Authors kept this in mind as they asked parents, siblings, grandparents, and friends, questions about their lives. The oral histories and research papers in this journal dig deep into not only the migration stories of those interviewed but also their labor history, their first-time crossing, discrimination faced, what the 'American Dream' means to them, the gendered differences of crossing, and recollections of their own lives across time and space.”
