This will be reading from renowned author Cherrie Moraga on her new book, Native Country of the Heart, followed by a conversation with Maria Hinojosa. In this memoir, Moraga revisits the sore spots of her past in the definitive effort to make peace with them; to understand as she writes, "within the context of her ethnicity and culture, what Mexican & American/Indian & Catholic/rape and racism had to do with sexual desire and a contrary gender." These are not new themes for Moraga, but what is new is her graps on the 'old', which finds its spiritual and political grounding in an indigenous recollection of land/geography/place.
