6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
NHCC | HLA Conference Room
The NHCC invites lovers of literature, folks who love to read, and those who enjoy talking about the history and vast the array of identities that contribute to Latinidad/Hispanidad to join us! We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room.
This month, we will be reading Nuclear Nuevo México: Colonialism and the Effects of the Nuclear Industrial Complex on Nuevomexicanos by Myrriah Gomez. This book tells the story of the Manhattan Project, and its displacement of Nuevomexicanas/os and Tewa people. Contrary to previous works that suppress Nuevomexicana/o presence throughout U.S. nuclear history, Nuclear Nuevo México focuses on recovering the voices and stories that have been lost or ignored in the telling of this history. There will be a Q&A with the author after a brief book talk.
