Meeting Room Both (Max Capacity 100), Virtual Meeting

We'll discuss Waiting to Be Arrested at Night: A Uyghur Poet's Memoir of China's Genocide by Tahir Hamut Izgil. Books are available at the Adult & Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

A poet's account of one of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises, and a harrowing tale of a family's escape from genocide. One by one, Tahir Hamut Izgil's friends disappeared. The Chinese government's brutal persecution of the Uyghur people had continued for years, but in 2017 it assumed a terrifying new scale.

Coffee and donuts will be served.

Contact the Adult & Teen Services department at ATS@dglibrary.org for more information.
