DESCRIPTION:Nicole E. Trujillo-Pagán discusses her new book\, Detroit Nev
 er Left: Black Space\, White Borders\, Latino Crossings.\n\n\n\nDetroit se
 emed to experience an explosive rebirth following its bankruptcy\, the lar
 gest in US municipal history. It was as if the slate had been wiped clean 
 and the color line erased in the nation’s largest Black city. Detroit Ne
 ver Left tackles important contradictions in the post-bankruptcy era. Urba
 n youth do not want to be moved out or isolated in their barrio. Similarl
 y\, many Detroiters feel spatial changes happen “to” instead of “for
 ” them. Detroit Never Left presents dispatches from the frontlines of pr
 ivatization’s war on the people of Detroit. Dr. Trujillo-Pagán shows ho
 w policies that purport to solve the city’s problems actually reward the
  profiteers and predatory lenders who caused them in the first place.\n\n\
 n\nThis event includes a signing with books for sale.\n\n\n\nThis event is
  for Teens and Adults.\n\n\n\nHeld in the Lower Level Program Room.

 s: After receiving a doctorate in American Civilization from the Universit
 y of Pennsylvania I took a job as a curator of power and shop machinery at
  The Henry Ford in Dearborn\, MI\, Then I moved to Washington\, D.C. to se
 rve as an historian of engineering with the Historic American Engineering 
 Record (HAER)\, a part of the National Park Service. While at HAER I ran a
  project to document the history of the Quincy Mining Company in Upper Mic
 higan.  I found the history of Michigan copper to be so interesting\, and 
 so rich in archival records\, that in 1981 I took a faculty position at Mi
 chigan Technological University in nearby Houghton. I taught there from 19
 81 to 2012.  Before retiring and becoming an Emeritus Professor of History
 \, I wrote four books about the Copper Country’s mines\, technologies\, 
 communities and people.  But I had not published any books about the autom
 obile\, even though I taught a class at Michigan Tech\, “The Automobile 
 in America\,” for thirty years that enrolled 3\,000 to 4\,000 students.\
 n\nThat had to change. Nearing retirement\, I set a goal to finally write 
 my “car book.” \n\nIt would be a cultural history\, covering the Fifti
 es and the Sixties\, that would lay out the auto’s impact on the nation.
  At the same time\, it would be a highly personal memoir. It would be an 
 “auto biography\,” recounting my life growing up with cars. Taking tri
 ps to relatives in Indiana and Illinois.  Listening to "Maybellene” and 
 “GTO” on the car radio.  Taking your first love out to neck in remote 
 locations. Cruising Vermilion Street in Danville\, Illinois. Driving a mus
 cle car and drag racing Chevelle Super Sports and Oldsmobile 442s. Rolling
  a car over\, wheels to wheels. Driving the Prom Queen and her court aroun
 d the track at Danville High’s football stadium.\n\n That book is finall
 y done and has been published by Wayne State University Press.  I think yo
 u will be edified and entertained by MOTOR CITY BOOMER: THE CAR CULTURE TH
 AT DEFINED A GENERATION.  Expect to learn a lot\, laugh a lot\, and cry th
 ree or four times.

 ***\n\n“Funny\, drama-fueled\, and full of Jackson's breezy wit. . . Bri
 lliant.” —Coco Mellors\, New York Times bestselling author of Blue Sis
 ters\n\nAn ambitious young woman insinuates herself into a tight-knit soci
 al set\, shaking up friendships and marriages in a small seaside town. A f
 rothy novel of love\, money\, sex\, and friendship\, from the New York Tim
 es bestselling author of Pineapple Street\n\nWhen Caroline Lash arrives in
  Greenhead\, Massachusetts\, she falls head-over-heels for Van Whittaker\,
  a fleece-wearing\, litter-collecting kayak enthusiast with long\, floppy 
 hair and the personality of a Border collie. Born and raised in this pictu
 resque coastal village\, Van runs with the same crowd he did as a kid: His
  ex-girlfriend\, Bailey\, a beautiful girl who attracts men like moths to 
 a flame\; Augusta\, old money\, horsey\, and snobbish\; and Fran\, surroun
 ded by brothers and sons\, too fed up with boys to ever consider marrying 
 one.\n\nTogether\, the group runs wild through the marshes\, beaches\, and
  bars of Greenhead\, drinking on houseboats\, spending long afternoons sun
 bathing with their children\, and playing games the way they always have. 
 But when Bailey discovers that she is pregnant with Van’s baby\, the del
 icate balance of the group’s friendship is thrown off. Soon Caroline is 
 cast out of the circle and what she does next—in a potent mix of fury an
 d heartbreak—exposes long-held secrets and works the entire town of Gree
 nhead into a lather.\n\nDazzlingly funny\, sexy\, and as juicy as it is as
 tute\, The Shampoo Effect is a story of late-night parties\, early morning
 s with small children\, the dawn of midlife\, and a group of old friends f
 inally growing up despite all their best efforts to the contrary.
