Anita Snow
I’m a writer and former foreign correspondent covering national issues from the Southwest for The Associated Press. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I focus mostly on immigration and giving voice to the voiceless. I’m also interested in social issues such as homelessness, poverty, food insecurity, and climate justice. I worked a quarter-century in Latin America, first as a Mexico City-based correspondent and news editor and later as Havana bureau chief. I also covered the U.N. in New York. I graduated from Cal State University with a degree in communications, hold a master’s in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from New York University, an MFA in creative nonfiction from Goucher College, and was a 2009–10 Nieman fellow at Harvard University. I’m now turning more attention to a memoir about growing up during the Cold War with a schizophrenic brother.
