September Not Fiction Book Discussion

Join us for a virtual discussion of The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border by Francisco Cantú. Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Current Interest and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Nonfiction Award. After earning a degree in international relations, Cantú, a third-generation Mexican-American, worked as an agent for the United States Border Patrol on the U.S./Mexico border as a way to witness and understand the impact of immigration policy on the lives of people on both sides of the border. 

When? Tuesday, September 1, at 6:30 p.m.
