Yesterday, Donald Trump visited the Mexican President and
then gave what was billed as a major speech on his Immigration policy in Phoenix,
AZ. Joining me today to talk all about
the speech, the Clinton Campaign’s response to it, and Donald Trump’s very poor
ratings among Latino Americans is Jorge Silva who is the Director of Hispanic
Media at Hillary for America and was formerly the Senior Advisor and Press
Secretary for Hispanic Media for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The study of political history with a focus on
elections and elected officials, policy and policy making, parties and party
politics was once a dominant, if not the dominant, pursuit of American
historians in academia. However, today
there seems to be a crisis in the profession with fewer and fewer scholars
building their careers on studying the political process; but what are the
ramifications of this trend and why is knowledge of our political past so
important? Joining me today to talk all
about the importance of studying and teaching political history is Fredrik Logevall who is a professor of history and international affairs at Harvard and
who co-wrote an Op-Ed on the subject for The New York Times with Kenneth Osgood
who is a professor of history at the Colorado School of Mines.
