Join NYPL & Latinx in Publishing for a live Banned Books Week x Latinx Heritage Month event about Latinx representation in publishing and and challenges around censorship and self-expression. Plus, pick up free books from the authors!
Seven percent of all authors in the US are Latinx, and about 40% of these authors face some form of censorship. Representation is a work in progress, with just 6 percent of children’s books featuring Latinx characters according to a 2020 study from the University of Wisconsin. Despite these challenges, Latinx authors continue to write their stories in their own voice, sharing their diversity, and representing their cultures loud and proud.
Everyone deserves to tell their own story on their own terms. Our featured panelists – Emanuel Xavier, Melissa Rivero, and AdrianaHerrera – have all grappled with issues of censorship in writing and are stronger for it. Come hear their stories!
The panel, moderated by Bronx-based author and activist Charles Rice-González, will discuss the current climate of book bans and challenges, as well as the importance and joy of self-expression. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
And there’s more: Plus, pick up free books by the authors! Giveaways books will be available first come, first serve. Limit four books per attendee.
