Crossing Into America by Louis Mendoza
Presents voices from the great second wave of American immigration. Mixing writing from celebrated authors such as Richard Rodriguez, Jamaica Kincaid, and Maxine Hong Kingston with striking selections from young writers, as well as diary entries and letters from undocumented workers.
"Every migration is an opportunity and a kind of deathBut it’s not just our final passage that demands a crossing fee. Every migrant knows the sensation of arriving in some kind of afterlife . . . your solid self lies buried in the place that you’ve abandoned."
—ROB NIXON
"A strong and diverse literary story of multicultural America. . . likely the most original and best introduction to the new immigration available today for its balanced, informative, moving, and comprehensive offerings."
