Manlio Argueta is a Salvadoran writer, critic, and novelist of the "Committed Generation", a literary group comprised of revolutionary writers and cultural workers. Because of his writings criticizing the government, Argueta was exiled to Costa Rica in 1972 and was not able to return to El Salvador until the 1990s. Dr. Karina Alma was born in El Salvador and raised in the Pico Union and Westlake regions in Los Angeles.  Her work challenges U.S. disseminated epistemic violence against Central America/ns by centering their lives and narrative works. She critiques systems of race-class-gender that intersect un/documented communities and migrations in context to neoliberalism and settler neocolonialism.
