Author Talks: Stories of the Latino South

Join authors CECILIA MÁRQUEZ and SARAH MCNAMARA to discuss their books Making the Latino South: A History of Racial Formation and Ybor City: Crucible of the Latina South. Engaging and informative, the conversation with Cecilia and Sarah will focus on the stories and experiences they’ve gathered of Latinx people in the United States South.

“Marquez’s field-changing history of the US South is the first to show us why racial diversity within categories such as ‘Mexican’ or ‘Latino’ matters for the region’s past and future.”—Julie Weise, University of Oregon

“Ybor City: Crucible of the Latina South is the best that Latinx history has to offer—deeply researched and rigorous but with respect toward diasporic peoples and the rich communities they build and evolve within.” Perla Guerrero in NACLAUNC
