Description
This collection consists of three interviews with Carola C. Reuben by Dr. Iliana Yamileth Rodriguez.
From 1982 until 1993, Carola Reuben was the owner and publisher of Mundo Hispanico, a weekly newspaper for the Latino and Hispanic community in Atlanta. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Mundo Hispanico carried stories about folklife festivals, restaurant openings, and the nightclub scene in Atlanta, but also including stories about agricultural laborers in Cedertown, Carrollton, Ellijay, and Cobb County. The newspaper covered issues of concern for the community such as access to education, immigration law, policing, and hate crimes.
Carola Reuben grew up in Japan, the daughter of Arab Jews displaced in December 1947. The family eventually settled in Sao Paolo, Brazil, where Reuben attended junior high and high school at the American School. When she moved to the United States, Reuben's experiences as an immigrant led her to become involved in the Latino and Hispanic community in Georgia. Through Mundo Hispanico, Reuben worked to elevate the voice of this rapidly growing community. After selling Mundo Hispanico, Reuben enjoyed a career as a music promoter for various Latino and Hispanic musical acts in Georgia and the southeast US.
