'American Dirt' events keep getting canceled
upcoming bookstore events were canceled. One was planned for Monday at Warwick’s in La Jolla, California; another, scheduled for Tuesday, was supposed to be held at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena. NBC News reports that those cancelations were actually at the behest of the book’s publisher, Flatiron Books, which reportedly cited alleged “safety concerns.” This event has been canceled by the publisher.
The controversy surrounding this book has ended up sparking another important conversation about own voices. In the end the publisher has cancelled the event but not before our staff and our community engaged in critical conversations about immigration, the horrible atrocity happening at the US border by the US government, freedom of speech, and own voices. For these conversations we are grateful and we hope they continue.
