About this Event

*Virtual attendees will receive Zoom link the day before the event

Founded in the 1990s, the Latinx, Latin American, and Caribbean Studies (LLACS) program at Northeastern returns to the Fall 2024 semester with the "Celebrating 30 Years of LLACS Scholarship: A Book Talk Series". This speaker series centers Northeastern LLACS faculty discussing their recent publications.

This event will featue author Sandra Guzmán. Sandra is an award-winning pioneering storyteller, culture writer, literary editor, and documentary filmmaker whose work reclaims and centers narratives of people and communities outside the margins. Her work explores identity, land, memory, race, sexuality, spirituality, culture, and gender.
A multimedia storyteller, she writes, edits, translates, and produces work that illuminates and educates. Her documentary films have aired on PBS, Netflix, HBO, HULU and Prime. Her stories have appeared on NBC News, Gannett | USA Today, shondaland among others. Her opinion pieces on NBC Think, CNN, and Latino Rebels. She was a producer of The Pieces I Am, a critically acclaimed film about the art and life of her literary mentor Toni Morrison. She is the author of the non-fiction feminist book, The New Latina’s Bible and editor of LATINA and Heart & Soul magazines. Her essays have appeared in magazine and the anthologies, So We Can Know edited by Aracelis Girmay and Some of My Best Friends edited by Emily Bernard. She won an Emmy Award for a special program unpacking the U.S. embargo against Cuba while she worked as a producer at Telemundo. She is an Afro-Indigenous daughter of the Caribbean born in the archipelago of Borikén.

We will be celebrating her most recently published book, Daughters of Latin America. This dazzling book brings together 140 voices from around the world. Brilliant writers who have achieved acclaim, are on the rise, and women who have been underappreciated, erased, and forgotten. These Daughters skillfully express themselves through poetry, speeches, letters, essays, drama, memoirs, humor, short stories, songs, chants, diaries, and novels. They are well-known and beloved writers, fresh and vibrant voices from Chicago to São Paulo, from Loíza to Montevideo, from Portsmouth to Port-auPrince, from the Bronx to Havana, from Chiapas to Pointe-à-Pitre celebrating a heritage that unites them.

Please join us for this highly relevant and important discussion, as well as ¡CELEBRACIÓN! of Sandra Guzmán's compelling book.
