HPL Presents: Laila Lalami In-Person
Laila Lalami—Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Other Americans—reads from and talks about her first work of nonfiction, Conditional Citizens: On Belonging in America. Drawing upon her own journey from Moroccan immigrant to United States citizen, Lalami explores how marginalized groups—including immigrants, women, and people of color—are often blocked from many of the rights, liberties, and protections associated with American citizenship.
This program, offering deeply personal insights about the experiences of those whom America embraces with one arm and pushes away with the other, will take place virtually. Registration is required.
A limited book giveaway and live Q&A with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Houston Chronicle Editor of Opinion, Lisa Falkenberg, are part of this free program. Registrants will receive a webinar link no less than 24 hours prior to the event.
