Emmanuel Bradshaw-Wk 9- Theatre of Witness response

During both of these chapters "Did you understand what you are dying for" and "Twelve guiding

regardless of what empathetic reaction the listener feels the need to say. This i feel can apply to

anything that deals with listening regardless of context. Those are my thoughts

From what the article had stated that was not the truth. It was merely one persons  interpretation of what a bracero was, b...
