These monthly book clubs, sponsored by our Women’s Leadership and Economic Freedom Program, feature Indigenous and local authors. Registrants receive a free copy of the book. Please note there is a cap of 20 book club ‘members’ each month, and you need to register for each month you would like to participate.
The first book club of 2023 will be Monday March 20, 6:30-8:30 pm (Mountain Time), via Zoom.
For March we’ll be reading and discussing Nuclear Nuevo México: Colonialism and the Effects of the Nuclear Industrial Complex on Nuevomexicanos by Myrriah Gómez.
Contrary to previous works that suppress Nuevomexicana/o presence throughout U.S. nuclear history, Nuclear Nuevo México focuses on recovering the voices and stories that have been lost or ignored in the telling of this history. By recuperating these narratives, Myrriah Gómez tells a new story of New Mexico, one in which the nuclear history is not separate from the collective colonial history of Nuevo México but instead demonstrates how earlier eras of settler colonialism laid the foundation for nuclear colonialism in New Mexico.
