Join Dartmouth Libraries to hear from Emily Walton, Associate Professor of Sociology, about her latest book, Homesick: Race and Exclusion in Rural New England. This book focuses on racial dynamics in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont and the ways in which misrecognition—a failure or unwillingness to see people of color as legitimate, welcome, and valuable members of the community—helps to maintain the status quo and create a sense of homesickness in communities of color.

Read Dartmouth Libraries' digital copy of Homesick, or purchase a copy directly from Stanford University Press--use code WALTON20 for 20% off.   

Talk followed by Q&A. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is highly recommended.
