Opis

Cultural Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. Translation by Ethriam Cash Brammer. Eye-opening first-hand testimonies of immigrants navigating the U.S. border. Radio personality Alicia Alarcon invited listeners to call and share their stories. These intriguing but heartbreaking passages reveal young and old, men and women, who must overcome the impossible as they hope to find a better place than the one they've left behind. These difficult and gritty stories are the stroies of the successful, the ones who make it across,only to scratch together lives on the other side. "This wonderful firsthand description of the immigration experience is recommended for public and academic libraries and bookstores" - Criticas (Starred Review).
