Lost: Children of the River

by Gabriel H. Sánchez (Editor), Isaac Chavarria (Editor)

Two years after the story of unaccompanied minors at the Southern U.S. - Mexico border broke worldwide, the humanitarian crisis is still on-going in spite of the very clear fact that the media attention on the crisis has largely dissipated. The refugees continue to struggle through a long, arduous, and perilous journey to reach their promised land. It is a movement of humanity of epic proportions which will change the face of America-mostly for the better-as most influxes of immigrants in America's past have done. But this crisis presents challenges too big to tack up to simplicities regarding the legitimate concerns of the legality of humans crossing our borders without the proper documents. This is truly a crisis like few that we have seen and our response to these lost souls knocking at our door for aid will define us as a people and as a nation. With this publication we, the editors, artists, writers, poets, photographers, and contributors at large hope to give pause to our busy, fast-paced lives and acknowledge that these children and mothers are people who deserve at the very least our compassion, and at the most our refuge.
