s han tomado la radio y destruido los equipos. Al igual que los campesinos y obreros de las minas, los trabajadores de la radio han sido perseguidos, encarcelados y maltratados y han tenido que huir para salvar sus vidas.

l America but also Spain, and even the United States – the sixth largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. This intercontinental space is connected physically by satellite communication, and culturally by a common language and heritage which binds it as both a ‘geolinguistic region’ and an ‘imagined community’ which certain media corporations, Latin American and North American, seek to exploit.
