Hardback. Condition: Good. Winner of the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award National Book Foundation Science + Literature Selection Finalist for New American Voices Award and Lammy Award for Bisexual Nonfiction A TIME, NPR, Chicago Public Library, Science for the People, WYNC, WBUR Radio Boston, and The Stacks Podcast Best Book of the Year Longlisted for the PEN Open Book Award As heard on Fresh Air Growing up in a New Jersey factory town in the 1980s, Daisy Hernandez believed that her aunt had become deathly ill from eating an apple. No one in her family, in either the United States or Colombia, spoke of infectious diseases. Even into her thirties, she only knew that her aunt had died of Chagas, a rare and devastating illness that affects the heart and digestive system. But as Hernandez dug deeper, she discovered that Chagas-or the kissing bug disease-is more prevalent in the United States than the Zika virus. After her aunt's death, Hernandez began searching for answers. Crisscrossing the country, she interviewed patients, doctors, epidemiologists, and even veterinarians with the Department of Defense. She learned that in the United States more than three hundred thousand people in the Latinx community have Chagas, and that outside of Latin America, this is the only country with the native insects-the "kissing bugs"-that carry the Chagas parasite. Through unsparing, gripping, and humane portraits, Hernandez chronicles a story vast in scope and urgent in its implications, exposing how poverty, racism, and public policies have conspired to keep this disease hidden. A riveting and nuanced investigation into racial politics and for-profit healthcare in the United States, The Kissing Bug reveals the intimate history of a marginalized disease and connects us to the lives at the center of it all.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In Working Women into the Borderlands, author Sonia Hernández sheds light on how women?s labor was shaped by US capital in the northeast region of Mexico and how women?s labor activism simultaneously shaped the nature of foreign investment and relations between Mexicans and Americans. As capital investments fueled the growth of heavy industries in cities and ports such as Monterrey and Tampico, women?s work complemented and strengthened their male counterparts? labor in industries which were historically male-dominated.As Hernández reveals, women laborers were expected to maintain their ?proper? place in society, and work environments were in fact gendered and class-based. Yet, these prescribed notions of class and gender were frequently challenged as women sought to improve their livelihoods by using everyday forms of negotiation including collective organizing, labor arbitration boards, letter writing, creating unions, assuming positions of confianza (?trustworthiness?), and by migrating to urban centers and/or crossing into Texas. Drawing extensively on bi-national archival sources, newspapers, and published records, Working Women into the Borderlands demonstrates convincingly how women?s labor contributions shaped the development of one of the most dynamic and contentious borderlands in the globe.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. "Writing in a fervently literary style that flirts openly with the traditions of Salinger, Plath, and Fitzgerald, Hernandez is a diamond-sharp satirist and a bracingly fresh chronicler of the heartbreak of trying to grow up. Honest and absurd, funny and tragic, wild and lovely, this novel describes modern coming-of-age with poetic precision."* The Devil Wears Prada meets The Bell Jar in this story of a wide-eyed Ivy League grad who discovers that his dream of "making it" at leading New York City fashion magazine Regine may well be his undoing. Elian San Jamar knew from childhood that he was destined for a better life than the one his working-class multiracial parents share in Texas-a life inspired by Regine's pages. A full ride to Yale opens the door to a more glamorous world, and he quickly befriends Madeline and Dorian, both scions of incredible wealth and privilege. With their help, he reinvents himself, and after four decadent years he graduates as Ethan St. James. But reality hits hard when Ethan arrives at Regine and is relegated to the lowest rung of the ladder. Mordantly funny and emotionally ruthless, An Innocent Fashion is the saga of a true millennial-naive, idealistic, struggling with his identity and sexuality-trying to survive in an industry, and in a city, notorious for attracting new graduates only to chew them up and spit them out. Oscillating between melodrama and whip-smart sarcasm, pretentiousness and heartbreaking vulnerability, increasingly disillusioned with Regine and Madeline and Dorian, Ethan begins to unravel. As the narratives of his conflicted childhood, cloistered collegiate experience, and existential crisis braid together, this deeply moving coming-of-age novel for the twenty-first century spirals toward a devastating realization: You can follow your dreams, but what happens if your dreams are just not enough? *Kirkus Reviews (starred).…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. M xico en llamas: el legado de Calder n constituye una indispensable revisi n cr tica y una en rgica denuncia de los casos m s escandalosos de corrupci n y complicidad pol tica del llamado sexenio de la muerte, donde destacan nombres tan diversos como Manuel Bribiesca Sahag n, Genaro Garc a Luna, Guillermo Galv n Galv n, Mario Arturo Acosta Chaparro, Isabel Miranda de Wallace y Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Felipe Calder n Hinojosa, asegura Anabel Hern ndez, ser recordado por los cinco principales legados de su gobierno: el infinito poder del narcotraficante Joaqu n El Chapo Guzm n; el asesinato impune de m s de 60 mil personas -v ctimas de la llamada guerra contra el narcotr fico-; la destrucci n de su partido pol tico, el PAN; un M xico controlado por c rteles, grupos de criminales y brigadas de mercenarios; y el regreso del PRI a Los Pinos. Para la periodista, los resultados de la estrategia fallida del panista son palpables: el incremento acelerado en el consumo y la producci n de estupefacientes, as como la penetraci n del crimen organizado en las instituciones encargadas de brindar seguridad e impartir justicia: el ej rcito, la Marina, la SSP, la PGR y el Poder Judicial# ni una sola se ha librado del esc ndalo. El prop sito fundamental de esta obra es informar a la sociedad y darle elementos para exigir justicia. A fin de cuentas, explica la autora, la nica forma de mantener nuestra esperanza en un futuro mejor, de que podamos desterrar este M xico de muerte e impunidad, es asegurarnos de que lo que ocurri durante estos ltimos seis a os no se repita. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Argues that the consequences of Felipe Calderon's term as president of Mexico include increased power for drug gangsters, more than sixty thousand unpunished deaths, the destruction of his party, and the return of the previous ruling party.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. It's the early 2010s, and seventeen-year-old Yesenia Rivera hates everything about herself: her brown skin and wide nose, her curly hair and hand-me-down clothing, and her inability to fit in with either the Mexican girls or the white girls at her school. So when her mother's new job requires them to uproot their lives and move to the Pacific Northwest, Yesenia devises a plan to remake herself completely. Cloaked in skin lightening cream, blue contact lenses, dyed-blonde hair, and a "whiter" name, Yesenia's-aka Jessie's-newfound ability to pass as white in her new school gets her the popularity she's always dreamed of. Yet as her brazen confidence morphs into hubris, all it takes is a couple of slip-ups for someone to take notice. Guillermo Rivera--aka Willy, an easier-to-pronounce nickname bestowed upon him by his classmates--is no stranger to sticking out at their predominantly white high school, right down to his too-small wrestling shoes. Bothered by how little he's able to help his low-income mother and seduced by the prospect of financial stability, he reluctantly settles into a flattened, stereotyped version of himself in exchange for being needed by his white peers. But when selling to Jessie's new friends pushes him farther out of his comfort zone and, dangerously, into theirs, both he and Jessie begin to suffer the mounting cost of what whiteness demands of them. The more they're forced together, the more their tenuously crafted double lives threaten to crumble. Until one day, when those lives collide . . .…
