Author and anthropologist to present program at LTCC in Spanish

The entire community is invited to Lake Tahoe Community College for a talk with author and anthropologist Enrique Martinez Curiel on Monday, Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Aspen Room (library building). This is a free presentation that will be delivered in Spanish.

Curiel is the author of Los que se van y los que se quedan, or Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay. The book is based on a study Curiel conducted that analyzed the formal education of and transition to adulthood in the youths of families who remained living in Ameca, Jalisco, compared to those who instead migrated into communities throughout California. Curiel received the prize for Best Doctorate Thesis in Social Science and Humanities at the National Autonomous University of Mexico for his work.
