About the Event

New York Times reporter Jazmine Ulloa (El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory) uses deep research and dozens of new interviews to change myths of El Paso at the United States’ southern border. From the Mexican Revolution and Mexican Repatriation to the shifting immigration laws under different presidential administrations and the violence and bloodshed brought on by the drug war, this session will capture the crossroads of an important Texas city.
