Author and Middlebury professor Gloria Estela Gonzalez Zenteno discusses her new novel Arribada, about a woman pushed to confront her role in environmental and social injustice, and a well-to-do family’s realization that their comfortable position rests on crimes against the natural world, their town, and their loved ones.

Binational writer Estela González writes in English and Spanish about race, class, gender, and environmental justice. She teaches Latin American literature and creative writing in Spanish at Middlebury College. Arribada was a finalist for the Feminist Press’s Louise Meriwether Award.
