SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: Liliana's Invincible Summer: A Sister's Search for Justice by Cristina Rivera Garza
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 24\, 2026\n6:00 – 7:30 pm \nThe NHCC invites lovers of literature\, folks who love to read\, and those who enjoy talking about the history and the vast 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.  \nFor the month of July\, we will be reading Cristina Rivera Garza’s Puliter Prize Winning Memoir Liliana’s Invincible Summer: A Sister’s Search for Justice. \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \nCan you enjoy yourself while you are in pain? The question\, which is not new\, arises over and over again during that eternity that is mourning. \nIn the early hours of July 16\, 1990\, Liliana Rivera Garza was murdered by her abusive ex-boyfriend. A life full of promise and hope\, cut tragically short\, Liliana’s story instead became subsumed into Mexico’s dark and relentless history of domestic violence. With Liliana’s case file abandoned by a corrupt criminal justice system\, her family\, including her older sister Cristina\, was forced to process their grief and guilt in private\, without any hope for justice. \nIn luminous\, poetic prose\, Rivera Garza tells a singular yet universally resonant story: that of a spirited\, wondrously hopeful young woman who tried to survive in a world of increasingly normalized gendered violence. It traces the story of her childhood\, her early romance with a handsome–but possessive and short-tempered–man\, through the exhilarating weeks leading up to that fateful July morning\, a summer when Liliana loved\, thought\, and traveled more widely and freely than she ever had before. \nUsing her remarkable talents as a scholar\, novelist\, and poet\, Cristina Rivera Garza returns to Mexico after decades of living in the United States to collect and curate evidence–handwritten letters\, police reports\, school notebooks\, architectural blueprints–in order to render and understand a life beyond the crime itself. Tracing the full arc of their childhood and adolescence in central Mexico\, through the painful and confusing years after Liliana’s death\, Rivera Garza confronts the trauma of losing her sister\, and examines from multiple angles how this tragedy continues to shape who she is–and what she fights for–today.  \n“In this gut-wrenching blend of memoir and reportage\, Rivera Garza (No One Will See Me Cry)\, a Hispanic studies professor at the University of Houston\, investigates her younger sister Liliana’s 1990 murder by an abusive ex-boyfriend\, who remains at large. Placing her sister’s death in the context of the femicide crisis in Mexico\, Rivera Garza interweaves startling facts and statistics (an average of 10 women are killed per day in Mexico) with lyrical meditations on her family life and Liliania’s efforts to break away from her obsessive high school boyfriend\, Ángel González Ramos.” (Goodreads)  \nThis book is available at the Albuquerque Public Library: 2 copies available\, plus Kindle ebook and Libby Audiobook  \nThis is a free community event.

SUMMARY:HLA Herencia Series: Author Reading and Book Signing with Virginia Sánchez
DESCRIPTION:Thursday June 25\, 2026\n6:30 to 8:00 pm \nNHCC | HLA Salon Ortega \nScholar and historian\, Virginia Sánchez\, is debuting her new book La Cebolla Valley: A History with us at the NHCC! More than 160 years ago\, the early settlers of La Cebolla Valley arrived and put down roots that would flourish into a lasting legacy. Freight wagons and travelers passed through the land\, an integral piece of the Mora–Las Vegas Trail\, bringing with them cultures and traditions that lived on in the people who stayed. Through perseverance and dedication\, they built the Acequia de San José and the Acequia de La Isla\, which have known nearly two centuries of use\, and transformed a small natural pond into Morphy Lake. With the help of the documents in the Agapito Abeyta Sr. Collection\, a windfall discovered in a barn\, historian Virginia Sánchez brings to light the cultural heritage of La Cebolla Valley’s inhabitants. \nFree Community Event \nRESREVE YOUR TICKETS HERE!
