Críticas
"Intense testimonies that leave one shivering, astonished at the bravery of the human spirit. Mayers and Freedman have done a magnanimous job collecting these histories. America, are you listening?" -Sandra Cisneros "Solito, Solita gives readers the rare chance to hear directly from young migrants who have risked everything for a better life on our side of the border. With unflinching clarity, they detail the violence they left behind, the fear and difficulties they face after arrival, and the hope and resiliency that carries them through it all. They have courageously shared these experiences with the idea that people like us might read their stories and be moved to action, and we owe it to them to do so." -Francisco Cantu, author of The Line Becomes a River "This book fills a crucial missing piece in today's immigration debate. Everyone who cares about immigration-and about migrants-should read it... The searing, heart-wrenching firsthand accounts in this book bring to life the experiences of Central Americans before they reach the United States: the tragic experiences of poverty, violence, and abuse that push individuals to flee their homes, the agonizing and perilous journeys across Mexico and Central America, and the baffling bureaucracy and abuse they find upon arriving in the United States." -Aviva Chomsky, professor at Salem State University and author of Undocumented "Stories of war and exile, of migrations and survival-a most pertinent collection for our times, one that puts a human face on the greatest tragedy and humanitarian crises of our generation. This collection is a must-read for politicians that demonize refugees and a call to action for everyone else." -Alejandro Murguia, San Francisco Poet Laureate Emeritus and professor of Latina/ Latino Studies at San Francisco State University "Immigration narratives are too often reduced to tropes, to statistics and numbers, to binary politics and manipulative rhetoric, but not so in this volume of stories. Solito, Solita reaches beyond and beneath the headlines, clearing the mess and the noise so that we can hear the voices that matter most in contemporary migration: those of young migrants themselves." -Lauren Markham, author of Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life "These raw voices pulse with heartbreak, resilience, hope, and even joy, shining a light on the forces that compel young people to flee their homes in the Northern Triangle in search of safety and solace in the United States. A must-read for today's immigration debate." -Sara Campos, codirector of the New American Story Project
Reseña del editor
As the Trump administration continues to separate families and hold immigrant children in cages, Solito, Solita is a powerful reminder of the resilience of migrant children. It illuminates the ongoing abuses that tens of thousands of child refugees from the Northern Triangle of Central America face every year in attempt to seek refuge from life-threatening conditions in their home countries. The number of unaccompanied children crossing the US-Mexico border increased 90 percent between 2013 and 2014. The total number that crossed the border in 2014 is estimated at between 60,000-90,000 children. Many of these youth are held indefinitely within detention centers in the United States and sent back to their home countries, where they often face the threat of death by gangs, as well as severe poverty. Considering the current anti-immigrant fervor ignited by Donald Trump, this collection speaks to a compelling public interest to make the voices of migrantes jovenes be heard. Only when their unique, authentic stories are read may their isolation-"solito solita"-be redeemed. By amplifying the voices of some of these youth-from adolescents to teenagers-this book brings to readers the voices of a largely unheard population and serves to illuminate and humanize the plights of Central American youth refugees. It sheds light upon the conditions of these journeys, the migrants' dreams for the future, and explores the complex social, political, and economic conditions that drive these unaccompanied child migrants to leave their homes in Central America and make the treacherous journey across Mexico and into the United States.
