February's Not Fiction Book Discussion

 

This month we continue reading about the forces that shaped the Americas with Silver, Sword and Stone: Three Crucibles in the Latin American Story by Marie Arana. Arana tells the story of how exploitation (silver), violence (sword), and religion (stone) have influenced Latin America by interweaving history with the lives of three contemporary Latin Americans.

We hope you will join the discussion:

When? Tuesday, February 2, at 6:30 p.m.
