Book Talk on Radical Hospitality in a Dysfunctional Immigration System

Subject: [Events-UV] 8/11 Book Talk on Radical Hospitality in a Dysfunctional Immigration System

Mary Fontana will give a book talk at the Norwich Public Library on Tuesday, August 11, at 7pm.

Mary is the author of the new book Strangers in the Province of Joy: Practicing Radical Hospitality on the US-Mexico Border, a narrative history of a small nonprofit called Annunciation
House, which provides hospitality for migrants and refugees on the
US-Mexico border. It also sketches out the larger context of immigration
across the Americas over the last half-century; the hope is to give
readers a sense of the complex forces driving global migration, through
the more tangible and emotionally resonant stories of individual people
and journeys, while challenging them "to confront the borders in their own hearts".
