Dan Werb: City of Omens
3010-B Juniper Street, San Diego, 92104
Cost: Free
UCSD professor Dan Werb will be at The Book Catapult on Wednesday, June 12 at 7:30pm to discuss and sign his new book, City of Omens: A Search for the Missing Women of the Borderlands. Epidemiologist Dan Werb's search for the ultimate causes of Tijuana's femicides casts new light on immigration, human trafficking, addiction, and the true cost of American empire-building. It leads all the way from factory slums to drug dens to the corridors of police corruption, as he follows a thread that ultimately leads to a surprising turn back over the border, looking northward.
