AUTHOR’S FORUM Airs on NPR’s Alt.Latino
In late November, 2019, Felix Contreras, host of NPR’s Alt.Latino, talked to U-M’s Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof (American culture) about Hoffnung-Garskof ’s new book Racial Migrations: New York City and the Revolutionary Politics of the Spanish Caribbean. The interview was recorded and aired on Alt. Latino, NPR’s pioneering program about Latin Alternative music and Latino culture.
The event was part of our Author’s Forum series, a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. Additionally, Wallace House-a U-M program that recognizes, sustains and elevates the careers of journalists-was instrumental in recommending and coordinating Felix Contreras’s participation.
