The presentation began with Dr. Bonifacio\u2019s wife introducing him, and with him reading powerful and very emotional pages from his book about his relationship with his father. Dr. Bonifacio is a professor of English at The University of Toledo and has also authored the books To the River<\/em> and We Are Migrants. <\/em>He has appeared in The New York Times and the Los Angeles Review of Books. He is a writer, poet, and academic who writes about his memories, migration, race\/ethnicity, and colonialism in the U.S. During his presentation, he even quoted from his book, Dique Dominican, <\/em>bell hooks, and Audre Lorde. If you are looking for a new book to read, I highly recommend this one.<\/p>\n
