Let’s Talk about Your Wall

jor writers from Mexico weigh in on U.S. immigration policy, from harrowing migrant journeys to immigrant detention to the life beyond the wall

Despite the extensive coverage in the U.S. media of the southern border and Donald Trumps 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 ofTexasandBefore) and Alberto Quintero redress this imbalance with this collection of essaystranslated into English for the first timedrawing on writing by journalists, novelists, and documentary-makers who are Mexican or based in Mexico. Contributors include the award-winning author Valeria Luiselli, whoseTell Me How It Endsis the go-to book on the child migrant crisis, and the novelist Yuri Herrera, author of the highly acclaimedSigns Preceding the End of the World.

Lets Talk About Your Walluses Trumps 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,Lets Talk About Your Wallprovides 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.
