A University Club of Santa Barbara Event

Meet the Author - Vicky Pinpin-Feinstein, Author of "Beyond Fear & Suspicion: The New Americans in Little Ethiopia".

Join us for an intimate and urgent conversation with author, Vicky Pinpin-Feinstein, about her newly published book, Beyond Fear and Suspicion: The New Americans in Little Ethiopia. 

As a nation of immigrants, what does it mean to build a life in America today? While the Trump administration rolls out sweeping changes to immigration control and enforcement, the daily lives of immigrants and newly minted American citizens are being reshaped in real time. This powerful new book offers a vital and deeply personal look into the immigrant experience through stories of resilience, poignant portraits, and evolving identities, which the Midwest Book Review  described as “simply outstanding in its scope and presentation, Beyond Fear and Suspicion should be required reading for all Americans - now, more than ever.”

Vicky will read from her work but will also anchor a discussion for a critical conversation about the human cost of policy and the enduring spirit of those who navigate a shifting American landscape. 

Complementary wine and appetizers will be served.
