Fort Worth is more than cowboys and world-class museums.  Join author Peter Szok for an introduction to the city’s rich immigrant heritage.  Szok’s Gringo’s Guide to Latino Fort Worth (2014) will serve as the basis for a discussion on the city’s Hispanic history and culture.  This wide-ranging program will cover cuisine, nightlife, sports, musical events, and celebrations.  You’re sure to leave with a new perspective along with a restaurant recommendation or two.  Join us!

Peter Szok is a graduate of Tulane University, where he received a PhD in modern Latin American history and specialized in ethnicity, nationalism, and popular culture. Dr. Szok is an associate professor of history at Texas Christian University, where he teaches classes on Afro-Latin American history, indigenous movements, and Central America.
