Carlos Fuentes - "Globalization: A New Deal for a New Age"
Free Public Lecture & Book Signing
Thurs., April 24 at 7pm
Mandeville Auditorium
Free and open to the public.
Carlos Fuentes is one of those rare writers who, by the sheer power of
literary art, has defined the cultural, emotional and hereditary identity of an entire continent. A novelist, essayist, scholar and diplomat, he is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest literary and political figures of the Spanish-speaking world. In his essays and nonfiction work (including The Buried Mirror, which was made into a TV series for the Discovery Channel), he seeks to
reclaim that identity and celebrate the rich contributions of Hispanic
culture.
Presented by The Center for the Humanities, Division of Arts and Humanities, and Revelle College, in conjunction with The Consulado de Mexico en San Diego. |
