Deborah Paredez
SANTA BARBARA — The UCSB Multicultural Center will present the discussion “Dreaming of Selena Twenty Years Later” with Deborah Paredez at 6 p.m. Monday, May 11 at the MCC Lounge.
2015 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of Selena Quintanilla Perez. How and where does Selena’s legacy persist? What does her continued afterlife — or cultural amnesia about her — tell us about current struggles and triumphs faced by Latinas/os in the U.S.? Paredez is an associate professor of English at the University of Texas-Austin.
