    PRESS RELEASE
    Glendale Public Library
    Chuck Wike, Community Relations Manager
    222 East Harvard Street
    Glendale, CA 91205
    (818) 548-2042


    Authors Nina Hachigian and Gregory Rodriguez will speak at the Glendale
    Public Library, 222 East Harvard Street, in Glendale, in celebration of
    National Library Week.

    Nina Hachigian will speak on Tuesday, April 15, 7 pm, about her book:
    The Next American Century: How the U.S. Can Thrive as Other Powers Rise.

    Nina Hachigian shows that while the "pivotal powers" (China, Europe, India,
    Japan, and Russia) seek greater influence, each has an enormous stake in a
    functioning world economy and a keen desire to thwart common threats. While
    America must be prepared for the possibility that a hostile superpower may
    one day emerge, it has to be careful not to turn a distant, uncertain threat
    into an immediate one. Ms. Hachigian was a Senior Political Scientist at
    RAND Corp. and the director of the RAND Center for Asia Pacific Policy and
    has been on the staff of the National Security Council. She is a Sr. VP and
    Director for California at the Center for American Progress, a progressive
    think-tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and
    action.


    Gregory Rodriguez will speak on Thursday, April 17, 7 pm, about his book:
    Mongrels, Bastards, Orphans, and Vagabonds: Mexican Immigration and the
    Future of Race in America.

    Iconoclastic Los Angeles Times columnist Gregory Rodriguez' book is a
    provocative account of the long-term cultural and political influences that
    Mexican Americans will have on the collective character of our nation. In
    considering the largest immigrant group in American history, he examines the
    complexities of its heritage and of the racial and cultural synthesis that
    has defined the Mexican people since the sixteenth century. Former MSNBC
    political analyst Rodriguez has written for The New York Times, The
    Economist, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and Newsweek. He is
    the Director of the California Fellows Program and a Senior Fellow at the
    New America Foundation, a non-partisan public policy institute.
