For the first time, Mexican emigres from the state of Guerrero will be able to vote this year for state governor, but few know about it. Election officials are reaching out to get thousands of eligible voters to register by next week.

Finally, a well-known US journalist talks about his new book, a collection of articles on major news developments in Latin America during the last decade, including the rise of Donald Trump and like-minded right-wing populists in Latin America, and the ups and downs of the Democratic left.
