Lxs Otrxs Dreamers

by Jill Anderson (Editor), Nin Solis (Photographer)

A bilingual community-published anthology of stories and photos about the experience of return and deportation to Mexico after having grown up in the United States. Twenty-six youth shared their stories in their own words with Jill Anderson, who then edited their contributions into a collective testimonio. The photographs by Nin Solis offer a distinct but parallel reading of the physical and personal spaces in which these young people are crafting their adult lives in the aftermath of return. In word and image, the book tells a story of the challenges, obstacles, injustices, triumphs, and potential of this bilingual, bicultural generation on the move. It is a combination of art, research and social justice written for a growing bilingual, bicultural audience. THE BOOK IS OUT OF PRINT. ONLY USED COPIES AVAILABLE FOR RE-SELL.

Powerful, heartbreaking and inspiring first-person narratives of young people growing up undocumented in the United States and then returning to Mexico.
