Demetria Martinez (born July 10, 1960) is an American activist, poet, and novelist.[1][2]
Early life
She was born on July 10, 1960, where she was raised by her grandmother in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is a graduate of Princeton University with BA from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.[1]
In 1988, Martinez was charged with conspiracy for allegedly transporting two Salvadoran women refugees into the United States;[3] she was working as a freelance reporter covering religion and the Sanctuary Movement at the time.[4] She was later acquitted of the charges.[3][5] During the trial, prosecutors used Martinez's poem "Nativity, For Two Salvadoran Women" in an attempt to build a case against her, a decision Martinez has called a "major error."[6]
Career
Martinez worked as a religion reporter for the Albuquerque Journal in August 1986.[7]
She has been an editor for the National Catholic Review in Tucson, Arizona, since 1990,[1] and teaches in the annual William Joiner Center for the Study of War and Social Consequences at the University of Massachusetts Boston.Шаблон:Cn
