Major writers from Mexico weigh in on U.S. immigration policy.
Despite the extensive coverage in the U.S. media of the southern border and Donald Trump's proposed wall, most English speakers have had little access to the multitude of perspectives from Mexico on the ongoing crisis. Celebrated novelist Carmen Boullosa (author of Texas and Before) and Alberto Quintero redress this imbalance with this collection of essays - translated into English for the first time - drawing on writing by journalists, novelists, and documentary makers who are Mexican or based in Mexico.

Carmen Boullosa is the author of eighteen novels, including The Book of Anna, translated by Samantha Schnee, two books of essays, seventeen collections of poetry, and ten plays. She has been visiting professor at Georgetown, Columbia, NYU, Blaise Pascal at Clermont Ferrand, a faculty member at City College CUNY, and is now at Macaulay Honors College. She lives in New York City and Mexico City. Alberto Quintero is a PhD candidate at Stanford University and the editor-in-chief of Literalia, a digital publishing and translation platform for Mexican writers.
