Let's Talk About Your Wall

<b>Major writers from Mexico weigh in on U.S. immigration policy from harrowing migrant journeys to immigrant detention to the life beyond the wall</b><p>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 <em>Texas</em> and <em>Before</em>) 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. Contributors include the award-winning author Valeria Luiselli whose <em>Tell Me How It Ends</em> is the go-to book on the child migrant crisis and the novelist Yuri Herrera author of the highly acclaimed <em>Signs Preceding the End of the World</em>.</p><p><em>Let's Talk About Your Wall</em> uses Trump's wall as a starting point to discuss important questions including the history of U.S.-Mexican relations and questions of sovereignty citizenship and borders. An essential resource for anyone seeking to form a well-grounded opinion on one of the central issues of our day <em>Let's Talk About Your Wall</em> provides a fierce and compelling counterpoint to the racist bigotry and irrational fear that consumes the debate over immigration and a powerful symbol of opposition to exclusion and hate.</p>
