The New South: People of the New America

The screening and public discussion are sponsored in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association. Hinojosa's visit kicks off community events organized by LACSI and UGA Libraries to coincide with National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. During the observance, the importance of Latinos in Georgia's social, economic and political fabric as well as the challenges that immigrants face will be examined.

As a longtime Hinojosa fan, her visit to UGA is a terrific event on its own. The focus of the screening and the discussion is even more crucial and its very occurence is a true measure of relevance for UGA, the Peabody's and the always-enagaged Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute. The humanities in action on one of the most important challenges facing American society. Can we embrace the opportunity of Latino immigration? See you Thursday.
