Miguel Martínez Naón is a poet and editor, as well as an actor and journalist. A political militant since his childhood, he has been involved in many social battles in Argentina. He is also a US citizen: he was born in 1976 to Argentine exiled parents in Palo Alto, California. But he and his parents soon moved to Mexico, and in 1984 he reached his true homeland, when such a return became possible thanks to the reestablishment of democracy.
Arturo Desimone: Because of your parents’ exile from Argentina, you were born in the campus of Stanford University, a cradle of North American counterculture in the 1970s, and yet you are Argentine, a leftist Argentine nationalist. How did these extraordinary circumstances come about? Have you retained any memories of the icons of North American counterculture?
