Join us at Left Bank Books for a conversation, audience Q&A, and book signing to celebrate the launch of Diversityland by Professor Kiara Wyndham.
Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork and more than 150 interviews in Fort Bend County, Texas, Diversityland (University of California Press) examines what Wyndham calls the “diversity contract” — an unspoken local agreement that racial difference may be celebrated so long as racial inequality goes unnamed.
The evening will open with a conversation about the book, followed by questions from the audience.
