The MCC Libraries and the Diversity Interest Group (of the Diversity Council), as cosponsors of the Diversity Book Discussion Group, are pleased to announce the book discussion choice for this semester: Brown: The Last Discovery of America by Richard Rodriguez. The book is available in the MCC Bookstore.
According to the publisher’s description, “In his dazzling new memoir, Richard Rodriguez reflects on the color brown and the meaning of Hispanics to the life of America today. Rodriguez argues that America has been brown since its inception – since the moment the African and the European met within the Indian eye. But more than simply a book about race, Brown is about America in the broadest sense – a look at what our country is, full of surprising observations by a writer who is a marvelous stylist as well as a trenchant observer and thinker.”
The book discussion will be held Wednesday, November 15, during College Hour (12:00 to 1:00 pm) in room 2-440 (fourth floor of the LeRoy V. Good Library). You are free to bring your lunch.
