2. TC Graduate Affiliate at B&N for Book Reading
On Wednesday, April 15th at 6pm in the Yale Bookstore, TC Graduate Affiliate, Chesa Boudin TC’03, will read from his new book Gringo: A Coming of Age in Latin America. The book is based in part on his time living in S. America during his junior year abroad from Yale.
“Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States:
In GRINGO, Chesa Boudin takes us on a delightfully engaging trip
through Latin America, in an ingenious combination of memoir and
commentary. The personal story is unflinchingly honest, and the
political judgments nuanced and thoughtful. Latin America is at the
outer edge of consciousness in this country, and Chesa Boudin brings
it back to our attention, eloquently and vigorously.”
“Noam Chomsky, Linguist, scholar, and activist: This marvelous voyage of personal discovery provides a vivid portrait of the richness and diversity of Latin America, its wonders and suffering, the courage and irrepressible spirit of its people, as they are revealed to a thoughtful and sensitive eye during the most exciting and hopeful decade since the European conquests. It is an enthralling account, stimulating and provocative.”
