Join us for a conversation with Kelly Lytle Hernández, author of Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire, and Revolution in the Borderlands. In this groundbreaking book, Hernández uncovers the story of the Mexican Liberal Party and the revolutionary activists who challenged dictatorship and exposed how systems of power criminalized movements for justice.
This discussion will explore how narratives of “criminality” have historically shaped border enforcement, immigration policy, and racialized policing–issues that continue to shape public debate today.
Come ready for an engaging conversation that connects past struggles with today’s questions about justice, migration, and systemic change.
