Book Talk: Genevieve Carpio presents "Collisions at the Crossroads: How Place and Mobility Make Race"

Event Date: 
Thursday, May 30, 2019 -
4:00pm to 6:00pm
Event Location: 
CSRC Library - 144 Haines Hall

In her new book, Collisions at the Crossroads: How Place and Mobility Make Race (University of California Press, 2019), Genevieve Carpio, UCLA professor of Chicana/o studies and CSRC faculty advisory committee member, demonstrates how regional authorities constructed racial hierarchies in the Inland Empire by controlling the mobility of residents. Carpio argues that permitting some people to move freely while placing limits on the mobility of others, through restraints that ranged from bicycle ordinances and traffic checkpoints to the enforcement of immigration policy, shaped attitudes toward minority populations in the region.

This event is organized by the UCLA César E. Chávez Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, the UCLA Department of History, the UCLA Department of Urban Planning, and the CSRC.

Books will be available for purchase at the event. A reception will follow the presentation.

This event is free and open to the public.

A recording of this event is available on CSRC YouTube.
