Literati Bookstore is partnering with the Department of History to welcome Professor Rita Chin to share her latest book, The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe: A History.

Challenging the mounting opposition to a diverse society, The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe presents a historical investigation into one continent's troubled relationship with cultural difference. After a laudatory review, the September 21 edition of the New York Times selected it as one of its "12 New Books We Recommend This Week," noting that the "questions Chin poses have never seemed more urgent, as Europeans (and Americans) attempt to come to terms with diversity."

Professor Chin will discuss her book with colleague Professor Mrinalini Sinha. Books will be available for sale and signing. Light refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public.

Rita Chin is professor of history at the University of Michigan. In addition to The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe (Princeton University Press, 2017), she is the author of The Guest Worker Question in Postwar Germany (Cambridge University Press, 2007) and the coauthor of After the Nazi Racial State (University of Michigan Press, 2009).

Mrinalini Sinha is Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History a the University of Michigan. She is the author of Colonial Masculinity: The Manly Englishman and the Effeminate Bengali (Manchester University Press, 1995) and Specters of Mother India: The Global Restructuring of an Empire (Duke University Press, 2006).

This event is presented by the Department of History in partnership with Literati Bookstore.
