Professor and author Antonio Arreguín-Bermúdez (California State University, Chico) will give a bilingual reading of his published collection of stories Burnt Honey / Miel quemada from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Bayley Room on the second floor of Beeghly Library, 43 Rowland Ave., Delaware.
Arreguín-Bermúdez’s collection of linked stories in his book brings to life the oppressive and dangerous experience of Mexican immigrant farm workers in the United States. In it, readers encounter the 14-year-old Little Clown, a young immigrant who finds hope through language. Little Clown’s journey reflects Arreguín-Bermúdez’s own path in many ways—he also came to the United States alone, as a child, and found his way to a very different life through words and learning.
Earlier in the day, Arreguín-Bermúdez will discuss his oppressive, dangerous, and even humorous life experience as a Mexican immigrant farm worker in the United States, and what he did to get his green card and his Ph.D. This presentation, which will be in English, will begin at 12:10 p.m. in Room 301 of Merrick Hall, 65 S. Sandusky St., Delaware.
Both events are free and open to the public.
