Dreams in Times of War / Soñar En Tiempos De Guerra by Oswaldo Estrada
In twelve stories, Dreams in Times of War / Soñar en tiempos de guerra brilliantly fictionalizes the lives of Latinx immigrants in the United States. The stories explore themes of violence including toxic masculinity, domestic abuse, and (trans)gender discrimination but also the alternative communities they form that offer solidarity and hope. Readers will celebrate this unflinching but heartfelt look at diverse immigrant experiences in the twenty-first century United States.
"In these stories, Estrada walked alongside those immigrants who, suffering violence or war in their countries, left everything to find a new life and, above all, to find the peace so necessary to continue and recover their humanity" - Carlos Villacorta Gonzales, author of Alicia, esto es el capitalismo
"The characters in these stories are Latin American immigrants who moved to the United States and are clinging to their dreams after crossing several physical and symbolic borders. . . . They all conform to an amalgamation of different migrations that deal with struggles, traumas, displacement, racism, cultural shock, violence, and discrimination." - Sara Cordón, author of Para español, pulse 2
