VT Reads Book Discussion at Kimball Library

Past event
Jul 21, 2022, 10:30 to 11:30 AM

Join a conversation about The Most Costly Journey / El Viaje Más Caro, an anthology of personal stories told by migrant farmworkers in Vermont and illustrated by New England cartoonists.

Thursday, July 21 at 10:30am -- in-person at Kimball Library and via Zoom. Copies of the book are available at the Library now.

The Most Costly Journey draws attention to an aspect of Vermont dairy farming invisible to many of us: the industry's reliance on workers from Mexico and Central America. Discover why some of our community members decided to leave their homes and journey to Vermont for work, and their experiences living here.

To learn about the genesis of The Most Costly Journey, you can view the kick-off panel discussion at https://vermonthumanities.org/programs/book-a-program/vermont-reads/vermont-reads-2022/panel[...]on/
Held in collaboration with Chandler Center for the Arts as part of the Vermont Social Justice Festival. Vermont Humanities 2022 Vermont Reads.
