DESCRIPTION:Born to a white American and a South Asian immigrant, scholar and essayist 
 Samira Mehta grew up feeling more comfortable with her mother's family than 
 with her father's-they never carried on conversations in languages that she 
 couldn't understand or blamed her for finding the food too spicy. But in 
 adulthood, she realized that some of her Indian family's assumptions about 
 the world had become an indelible part of her-and that her well-intentioned 
 parents had not known how to prepare her for a world that would see her as 
 a person of color. \n \nPopular belief assumes that mixedness gives you the 
 ability to feel at home in more than one culture, but the flipside reveals 
 you can feel just as alienated in those spaces. Samira's latest book, The 
 Racism of People Who Love You: Essays on Mixed Race Belonging, is an 
 emotionally powerful and intellectually provocative blend of memoir, 
 cultural criticism, and theory, where she reflects on many facets of being 
 multiracial. With frankness and generosity, Samira tackles questions around 
 authenticity and belonging, conscious and unconscious cultural inheritance, 
 appropriate mentorship, and the racism of people who love you. \n\nJoin 
 Samira for a conversation that lays bare the pain and the love, the 
 blending of practices, assumptions, and the creation of a culture of hybrid 
 identity.\n\nFree, suggested donation of $10.\n
