Tuesday, April 16, 2002

Richard Rodriguez, Peabody Award-winning journalist, is an editor at Pacific News Service and regular essayist on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. His previous memoirs, Hunger of Memory and Days of Obligation, addressed the intersection of his private life with public issues of class and ethnicity. In Brown: An Erotic History of the Americas, he completes his "trilogy on American public life" by considering the issue of race.
