Revolutionary Reads Book Group: The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez

Join us in a discussion of our Revolutionary Reads 2021 book, The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez by Aaron Bobrow-Strain, is the winner of the 2020 Washington State Book Award for Biography and the 2020 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award. 

In speaking in an interview on NPR, Bobrow-Strain says of his book, “In the end, this isn't just a book about Aida. Really, it's a book written in collaboration with Aida about the kinds of immigration policies and economic policies that the rest of us have created. It's a book about the world we've created as much as it's a book about Aida. And in that sense, I hope it's a sympathetic portrait of Aida, but it's also - should be a look in the mirror for the rest of us because these policies have been carried out in our name, supposedly to keep us safe.”

Bobrow-Strain will be speaking in our online Revolutionary Reads event on August 12 at 7 pm on our YouTube channel. Please join us!
