Gabino Iglesias: Yeah, this is the Land of Opportunity. It’s just hidden for a while, but it’s still there. In any case, hell yeah! Folks need to read everything written by David Bowles, especially his latest book of poems, They Call Me Güero: A Border Kid’s Poems.
The same goes for Rios de la Luz’s Itzá and everything ever written by Yuri Herrera, especially Signs Preceding the End of the World.
Also, read Edward Vidaurre’s Chicano Blood Transfusion and Valeria Luiselli’s Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions.
And go read Daniel García Ordaz’s Cenzontle/Mockingbird: Songs of Empowerment and anything Pedro Pietri ever published.
And then read the book that explains it all, Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza. Read The Cowboy Bible and Other Stories by Carlos Velázquez and Carlos Fuentes’s The Crystal Frontier.
Of course, there are other reviews out there. Please send me yours and submit them to GoodReads.com, Amazon.com, etc. Many thanks! Here's the link to the book via Amazon, where other reviews are posted, though the book is widely available.
