Sun. 02/22 11a: Richard Rodriguez, his books include Hunger Of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez; Brown: The Last Discovery Of America; and in 2013, Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography.
Richard Rodriguez is one of America’s great writers on self and society. He sees the racial categories of previous generations re-forming in what he calls the “browning” of America. He’s also been searching to understand his kinship, as a Roman Catholic, with Muslims in the post-9/11 world. In his life and mind, Richard Rodriguez straddles left and right, religious and secular, immigrant and intellectual. Krista Tippett mines his wisdom on the emerging fabric of human identity.
