Book Launch: Jazmine Ulloa

Book Launch: Jazmine Ulloa presents El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory

New York Times reporter Jazmine Ulloa launches her new book El Paso, a sweeping human history, revealing violence, power, and privilege at play in America’s most famous border town. An extraordinary, can’t-look-away reported history, El Paso is a brave new work of narrative nonfiction that gives new voice and perspective to history that has long been checked at the border, or told through the lens of white men alone. Charting the history of El Paso through five families, from the Mexican Revolution and the Mexican Repatriation, to the shifting immigration laws under Reagan and Trump and the violence and bloodshed brought on by the drug war, El Paso captures a place often misunderstood or forgotten by the rest of the country, and the world. Ulloa discusses the book before an audience Q&A and signing.
