SUMMARY:Virtual: Micheline Aharonian Marcom and Sara Campos
DESCRIPTION:Micheline Aharonian Marcom discusses her new novel\, The New Americans\, with Sara Campos. \nSelect praise for Micheline Aharonian Marcom \n“The fierce beauty of her prose both confronts readers with many breathtaking cruelties and carries us past them.”The New York Times \n“Powerful…Marcom’s writing is intensely poetic.”Washington Post \n“Lyrical…Marcom is so talented.”Chicago Tribune \n“Dazzling and disquieting.”Los Angeles Times \n“Marcom’s seamless\, ethereal prose is suffused with raw emotion; there is heart-break on every page\, but also hope.”San Francisco Chronicle \nAbout The New American \nIn this timely and emotionally powerful novel\, award-winning author Micheline A. Marcom recounts the epic journey of a young Guatemalan-American college student\, a “dreamer\,” who gets deported and decides to make his way back home to California. \nEmilio believes he is living the American Dream: his parents\, who emigrated from Guatemala to California\, sacrifice daily to ensure it. And his life seems relatively normal until he turns sixteen. Like most teenagers\, Emilio is determined to get his driver’s license—however\, his mother discourages it. When Emilio asks why\, his parents reveal a shocking secret: he is undocumented. \nEmilio adjusts to his new normal. He attends UC Berkeley. He falls in love. All is going well…until Emilio gets into a car accident and—without a driver’s license or any documentation—the policeman on the scene reports him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE]. \nEmilio is deported to Guatemala. But he is determined to get back to California\, the only home he has ever known. It is an epic journey that takes him across thousands of miles through remote towns\, lush jungles\, and eventually the Sonoran Desert of the US-Mexico border\, meeting thieves and corrupt law enforcement but also kind strangers and new friends. \nInspired in part by interviews with Central American refugees\, and told in lyrical prose\, Micheline A. Marcom weaves a heart-pounding and heartbreaking tale of adventure. The New American is an important and well-timed novel that asks us what we have in common—across cultures\, experiences\, and borders—and what makes us not only American\, but altogether human. \n

SUMMARY:This is Now - Unbreaking Government
DESCRIPTION:This event is online.\nAmidst the political morass the US has become\, some are voicing the unthinkable: has American democracy’s long\, ambitious run come to an end? How much power do we have to mend our breaches\, fix our political system and our economy\, and lift those who’ve been left behind? \nWilliam G. Howell is the Sydney Stein Professor in American Politics at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy\, chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago\, director of the Center for Effective Government\, and co-host of the Not Another Politics podcast. Terry M. Moe is the William Bennett Munro Professor in Political Science at Stanford University and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. These two expert political minds are cautiously optimistic we can extract ourselves from the mess we’re in. But it won’t be an easy road. \nHowell & Moe’s new book Presidents\, Populism\, and the Crisis of Democracy tracks the troubling rise of Donald Trump to socio-economic forces—such as globalization\, technological change\, and immigration—that have generated widespread populist anger and will continue to do so long after he leaves office. In order to defuse the populist threat to democracy\, they say\, the nation needs to embrace programs and reforms that will ensure a more effective government for solving the complex and vexing problems of modernity.  At the center of this reform project is a recrafting of the presidency to take advantage of its great promise and to guard against its dangers. \nKepler’s Literary Foundation’s journalist in residence\, Angie Coiro\, brings us the latest in our This Is Now series focusing on culture and politics. Join Angie\, William Howell\, and Terry Moe for a nuanced discussion of what can truly improve the odds of our country’s survival. \n**Please consider joining with a donation to support the production of this event and make it possible for us to continue bringing you great conversations. Registration will close one hour before the event; please reserve your spot early to guarantee access\, as registrations are limited. **  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPosted in Refresh The Page\, This Is Now
