“At a time when many Americans are of the opinion that there are too many Mexicans around, it is time for the 2007 Imagen Awards “to encourage and recognize the positive portrayal of Latinos.”

I write on the occasion of these awards to observe that the genius of popular entertainments is that they can seek and they often find the correlation between fear and desire. Americans fear what we have always feared — a history that is out of our control. The genius of popular entertainments is that they give us a way of transforming objects of fear into objects of desire.”
