NHCC | Salón OrtegaJoin us as we celebrate the launch of a new book by author A. Gabriel Melendez, Citizens by Treaty/Ciudadanos por tratado, with a reading and reception on Thursday, Sept. 11. Melendez’s book gathers works produced by Spanish-speaking people of Mexican descent who became US citizens by virtue of the Treaty of Guadalup Hidalgo (1948) and whose ancestors had resided in New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas, and Colorado for hundreds of years. This anthology of songs, poems, speeches, and journalism shows the persistence of a vibrant culture in the face of upheaval and change.
Plus, don’t miss the associated writing workshop on Saturday, September 13, from 10 am to 12 pm. Please register separately for both events below.
Free community event, generously supported by AARP Albuquerque.
