Book Talk: A Place at the Nayarit

USC Professor and MacArthur Fellow Natalia Molina in conversation with Autry CEO Steve Aron, to discuss her latest book on the hidden history of the Nayarit, a neighborhood restaurant in Echo Park that nourished its community of Mexican immigrants with a sense of belonging as they made their own places in Los Angeles. The Nayarit was a local landmark, popular with both Hollywood stars and restaurant workers from across the city, but it was much more than a popular eating spot: it was an urban anchor and a gathering space where ethnic Mexican workers and customers connected with their patria chica (their “small country”).
