Abstract: This year it is the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the “Cinco de Mayo:” a battle in which the French army was defeated by the Mexican troops in Puebla (Mexico, 1862). This is an excellent opportunity to reflect on Latin America in the US. My lecture will discuss the idea of becoming a cosmopolitan citizen in Wichita by re-thinking Latin America beyond stereotypes.
