Literature & Fiction

Journey to el Norte is the story of a boy dreaming of horses and haciendas in rural Mexico who then heeds the call of el Norte and comes to work in the fields of the United States. In episodes that are drawn in painterly detail, the book narrates his charmed childhood; a pastoral that sustains the grown man as he faces border patrols, Immigration surveillance, demanding relatives and tedious sweat labor. Tender and dramatic, humorous and moving by turns, it is written in a poetic prose of remarkable clarity. This is above all a poignant tale of love lost and love found. &#8220;An emotionally rich, lucidly written account of the dilemma faced by the migrant worker from Mexico. The book superbly establishes a sense of place and person while evoking a lyrical mood.&#8221; P. Hockings, Editor-in-Chief Visual Anthropology
