#226: The dual national dilemma with political scientist José Marichal

Marichal, a Cuban-American professor of political science at
California Lutheran University, joins to talk about recognition,
mis-recognition, identity, and some of the deeper themes
underneath the Mexican-American dual national's choice about
which national soccer team to play for. No hard conclusions
drawn, just some new (for me, Belz) ways to think about the
issue.
