Another Mexico: A Conversation with Storyteller Sam Quinones

Views:949
@ReasonVids

Sam Quinones covers immigration, drug trafficking and gangs as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times.

Quinones is also the award winning author of two books: True Tales from another Mexico and Antonio's Gun & Delfino's Dream. The books are collections of nonfiction stories Quinones wrote while living and working as a freelance writer in Mexico.

Instead of writing stories about the official and bureaucratic Mexico we see on TV, Quinones focuses on "another Mexico," the regular people without influence on the fringes of Mexico's paternalistic political system. These are the independently minded people who dare to live their own lives, start businesses and risk everything to pursue their dreams in the US.

Reason.tv's Paul Feine sat down with Quinones to talk about popsicle kings, drag queens, cults, corruption, migration and the future of Mexico.

To purchase the books and learn more about the author, go to: http://www.samquinones.com/

Approximately 13 minutes. Produced by Paul Feine and Alex Manning. Still photography by Sam Quinones.
