 \n\nThis rare tribute by KPFA is presented to honor the life and work of an 
 author who has shown exceptional creativity and a lifelong striving for 
 justice and equality.  \n\nMargaret Randall, born in New York City, is a  
 writer, photographer, poet, activist and academic. She lived for many years 
 in Spain, Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua, and spent time in North Vietnam 
 during the last months of the U.S. war in that country. She has written 
 extensively on her experiences abroad and back in the United States, and 
 has taught at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, and several other 
 colleges.\n\nRandall moved to Mexico in the 1960s, married Mexican poet 
 Sergio Mondragon and gave up her American citizenship. She moved to Cuba in 
 1969, where she deepened her interest in women's issues and wrote oral 
 histories of mainly women, "wanting to understand what a socialist 
 revolution could mean for women." Her 2009 memoir To Change The World: My 
 Years in Cuba chronicles that period of her life. She lived in Managua, 
 Nicaragua, from 1980 to 1984, writing about Nicaraguan women, before 
 returning to the U.S. after an absence of 23 years.\n\nAmong her best-known 
 books are Cuban Women Now, Sandino's Daughters, and When I Look into the 
 Mirror and See You: Women, Terror and Resistance. \n\nAlejandro Murguia, 
 San Francisco Poet Laureate, is the author of This War Called Love (City 
 Lights), Southern Front, Volcan: Poems from Central America, and Stray 
 Poems.\n\n$15 advance, $18 door.\n
