BERKELEY—Little Central America 1984

BERKELEY—Little Central America 1984 is a live performance written and performed by Elia Arce and Ruben Martinez that explores the history of the “Little Central Americas” in the United States founded by refugees largely from the civil wars of the 1980s. The performance brings together poetry, live music and testimonials, recreating the era when the conflicts in Guatemala and El Salvador displaced over one million people and gave rise to the Sanctuary Movement in which faith-based activists risked their freedom to offer shelter to refugees in defiance of federal law.
