Our Hidden Histories: A Book Talk with Désirée Zamorano

Come join us at the University Library for a book talk with the author, Désirée Zamorano! The discussion and readings will be centered on the author’s new novel, Dispossessed. This novel traces the life of Manuel, a boy who is separated from his parents during the mass expulsion of Mexican Americans and Mexican nationals in Los Angeles during the 1930s. The author will discuss how her background in education inspired her to uplift hidden histories within her novel. The aim of the event will be to explore how Zamorano’s novel lies within the intersection of Ethnic Studies and the field of Education.
