6:00pm
Please note: this free event will be held at DePaul University Student Center at 2250 N. Sheffield Ave. Registration is required. Register HERE.
Native Country of the Heart: A Memoir is, at its core, a mother-daughter story. The mother, Elvira, was hired out as a child, along with her siblings, by their own father to pick cotton in California's Imperial Valley. The daughter, Cherrie Moraga, is a brilliant, pioneering, queer Latina feminist. Poetically wrought and filled with insight into intergenerational trauma, Native Country of the Heart is a reckoning with white American history and a piercing document of familial love. Cherrie Moraga is a writer and cultural activist whose work serves to disrupt the dominant narratives of gender, race, sexuality, feminism, indigeneity, and literature in the United States. READ MORE
