An Evening With Josefina V?zquez Mota
The Institute of the Americas is proud to host Josefina V?zquez Mota, arguably the most prominent woman in Mexican politics, the evening of Feb. 19 for a discussion of her latest book El Sue?o Que Uni? La Frontera. An economist, businesswoman, journalist and author, V?zquez Mota has held multiple ministerial positions in Mexico and was the PAN candidate for president in the 2012 elections. Her most recent publication is the culmination of scores of interviews with the Mexican diaspora in the United States about their professional lives and pursuit of the American Dream. From doctors to scientists, from DREAMers to day laborers, V?zquez Mota captures the nuanced relationship that her countrymen have with the border, the opportunities they find in the U.S. and the lives they leave behind in Mexico. A cocktail reception will follow the presentation and book signing.
Note: This program will take place in Spanish. Regrettably, no interpretation is available at this time.
