Cuesta College’s 2019 Book of the Year program will bring renowned Mexican-American Chicana scholar, novelist, and poet Ana Castillo to Cuesta College in March of 2019, to discuss her memoir Black Dove: Mama, Mi’jo and Me. The memoir includes a collection of essays that offer an intimate look at pivotal experiences in Castillo’s life across three generations: the relationship between Castillo and her immigrant mother, Castillo’s own challenges as a single mother to her son, and her childhood memories of growing up in the Mexican barrios of Chicago.

Castillo will appear for a presentation and book-signing event on March 5, 2019, at the Cuesta College Harold J. Miossi Cultural and Performing Arts Center (CPAC). Tickets will go on sale on February 1, 2019 at cpactickets.cuesta.edu. In addition, Castillo will lead a classroom discussion with Cuesta College’s North County Campus students in Paso Robles.
