Enrique's Journey and America's Immigration Dilemma A presentation and book-signing by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Sonia Nazario Monday, November 9th, 2015 @ 6:30-8:30pm in Chumash Auditorium
Using award-winning photographs, Pulitzer Prize winning author Sonia Nazario takes you inside the world of millions of immigrant women who have come to the US as single mothers, and the children they have left behind in their home countries in Central America and Mexico. She discusses the modern-day odyssey many child migrants—some as young as seven, all of them traveling alone—make many years later riding on top of freight trains through Mexico on their quest to reunify with their mothers in the US.Nazario, who spent three months riding on top of these trains to tell the story of one child migrant named Enrique, shares her story in the context of determination. http://www.enriquesjourney.com/
