An Evening with Lea Ypi in Cambridge

Join Lea Ypi as she takes us on an imaginative investigation into dignity and historical injustice through the story of a family from the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the dawn of Communism in the Balkans in her new book Indignity. By turns epic and intimate, profound and gripping, Indignity explores what it means to survive in an age of extremes.
