Kathryn Blair
Kathryn Blair joins us for a special evening to share her newest work, Forging a Nation: The Story of Mexico from the Aztecs to the Present.
Kathryn says, “If Americans are ever to establish better relations with Mexico, they need to understand our distinctive history. I wanted to write a history short and interesting enough for an easy read.”
Most Literary Sala members will recall with great fondness our 2010 Summer Literary event with Kathryn Blair and her remarkable book, In the Shadow of the Angel, about Antonieta Rivas Mercado and the Mexican Revolution of 1910.
Kathryn is generously donating to the Literary Sala proceeds from any of the books purchased through this link: Forging A Nation: The Story of Mexico From the Aztecs to the Present
“I thought I knew a lot about the history of the Southwest and Mexico, but Kathryn Blair’s book showed me how wrong I was. The forces and people that created the Mexico of today . . . seem so much more interesting than I had understood before I read her wonderful book.”
“Mexico’s story is unique on the planet. Reading about how all this came to be gives enormous added dimension to the experience the Mexico of today.”
