Synopsis

Fasten your seat belt: This book will take you on a bumpy ride through the painful human geography of the border.-Hispanic Magazin

"This book may be one of the best collections of border essays and insights I've read. The editors have wisely chosen to include some of the best writers from the region instead of the usual hash of academics. When I wasn't laughing, I was crying. How often can you really say that about a book?"-El Planeta Platica

"There probably isn't another press in the country that could pull together such a smart and heartfelt anthology as this. After all, they live in the thick of it."-The New Mexican

"An exceptional collection of essays that takes a long, hard look at the arbitrary line we call the Mexican border." Southwest Books Best Picks for '96-Arizona Daily Star
