Nickelodeon’s Dora The Explorer and Multicultural Progamming

NPR’s Code Switch has an episode on how Nickelodeon’s Dora The Explorer, which premiered in 2000, helped usher in a wave of multicultural children’s programming in the United State. Latino USA hosts tell the story of how the show pushed back against anti-immigrant rhetoric — and why Dora’s character still matters.  The beginning of the podcast details recent developments in immigration and enforcement.
