Irrevocable Conditions: A Night of Travel Writing by People of Color

“Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.” ― James Baldwin, Giovanni's Room

If travel writing tells the story of leaving home in pursuit of the foreign, then people of color have much more to contribute to the genre than we’ve been allowed. Stories that are born out of the conditions of (im)migritude, displacement, travel, and exile, when told by voices of color, have the potential to challenge notions of static identities and fixed homelands and do more justice to the world of travel lit that we all love. Join writers Faith Adiele, Mary Ann Thomas, Joseph Hernandez, Bani Amor, and Sarahlynn Pablo for a night of storytelling, a brief panel and Q&A followed by a book signing.

Featured Speakers: Bani Amor, Faith Adiele, Mary Ann Thomas, Joseph Hernandez, Sarahlynn Pablo
