Mexic-Arte Museum is hosting a book reading on Friday, Oct. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. with three notable Latino writers who will be participating in the 2010 Texas Book Festival. New Mexico native Cynthia Orozco, author of No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed: The Rise of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement, drew on extensive archival research to present the history of the League of United Latin-American Citizens, or LULAC. Emilio Zamora, who lives in Austin, traced the experiences of Mexican workers on the American home front during World War II for his book Claiming Rights and Righting Wrongs in Texas: Mexican Workers and Job Politics during World War II. University of California Berkeley professor David Montejano describes the turbulent mid-1960s, when San Antonio was a segregated city, in Quixote’s Soldiers: A Local History of the Chicano Movement, 1966-1981. Following the readings will be a Q&A session and authors will be available for book signing.
