Family, Memory & the Borderlands

Schedule

Tue Oct 01 2024 at 06:00 pm to 08:00 pm

Location

University of Arizona Libraries | Tucson, AZ

Join us to celebrate two new books from the borderlands—"They Call You Back: A Lost History, A Search, A Memoir by Tim Z. Hernandez" and "The Molino: A Memoir" by Melani Martinez. The two authors will read from their books and discuss common themes. Both books document a lost history through the haunting, other-worldly voices calling us to remember, search, uncover, and restore the authors’ place and impact—their essential belonging—as descendants of farm and food workers and in the vast Borderlands.
The discussion will be moderated by Javier D. Duran, Professor of Latin-American and Border Studies at the Center for Latin American Studies and the founding director of the Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry under The Office of Research, Innovation, & Impact at the University of Arizona.
