Southern Culture Movie Series, ‘Spanish Voices’ (2011)

The Spanish-speaking population in the Southeastern U.S. has been growing at an unprecedented rate. This movement has led to major language change issues about the co-existence of English and Spanish in the American South. People from all walks of life contribute to the American story of Spanish and English and its relationship to movement, identity and community (2011, 55 min.).

A facilitated discussion will follow the viewing. Refreshments will be served.

This film series, which takes place each summer, is designed to be an entertaining and critical introduction to the American South, and most films are accompanied by commentary from a topical expert. While intended especially for international students and scholars, the series is open to everyone.
