Book Presentation: The Afro-Latin@ Reader
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 · 6:00pm - 8:00pm
NYU Dept of Social and Cultural Analysis
20 Cooper Union Square
New York, NY
Join us in a presentation of the Afro-Latin@ Reader featuring Miriam Jiménez-Román, Juan Flores, Jennifer Morgan, Tato Laviera & Evelyne Laurent-Perrault.
The Afro-Latin@ Reader focuses attention on a large, vibrant, yet oddly invisible community in the United States: people of African descent from Latin America and the Caribbean. The presence of Afro-Latin@s in the United States (and throughout the Americas) belies the notion that Blacks and Latin@s are two distinct categories or cultures.
