Publisher Annotation: A collection of 35 bold, important, and groundbreaking essays and poems by immigrants, refugees, and dreamers, including award-winning writers, artists, and activists, that illuminate the experience of living without documents. During this time of political instability and uncertainty, this collection of essays, poetry, and art aims to shift the nation's collective imagination of migrants and refugees toward one rooted in humanity and justice. The writers of this anthology will change the perception of themselves and their communities through storytelling and art, to loudly and proudly declare that, here and everywhere, they are human despite border militarization, mass detention and draconian anti-immigrant legislation. Here, they speak of their experience, not only dealing with their current immigration status, but in a nuanced reflection of their own pre-migration existence and their collective hunger for a future without borders. These stories will take the reader on a journey through childhood memories, family anecdotes, and dreams of reuniting with parents on the other side. Other stories will capture what is often not discussed, such as the moment one decides to leave the US to seek a new life elsewhere, after decades of living as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, being processed in a detention center as a transmigrant, and mourning for imagined homelands. Some stories will have the layered complexities of being black and migrant, or reflect the angst of aging outside of DACA, but all stories will converge at the intersections of race, class, gender, nationality, sexuality, political beliefs, and reproductive rights. Like dandelion seeds, these stories will germinate a sense of urgency, joy, hope, mourning and perseverance, taking root in the hardest of soil, showing what can flourish despite adverse conditions.

Publisher Annotation: After Mother, comes a new book by Paola Roig to accompany you through motherhood and raising your children. This is a must-read book to be free of guilt and feel supported throughout the process of being mothers. We Millennial mothers live in the age of information. We know which shoes are better for our kids, at what age we should introduce gluten into their diets, and how to be there for them when they are having a tantrum. We go through this upbringing process trying to break patterns, act differently, and be textbook moms. But who addresses what happens to us while trying to achieve all that? In this book I wanted to take on upbringing through psychology, of course, but also through the experience of the mothers I support and of my own. I wanted to comment on what is happening to us, of everything we have so much trouble naming, of what our children move in us, and how we can simplify the journey to accompany them and us. This is what you will find here. I will explore the crucial aspects of childcare, those that worry us most and the ones we read about most. I will give you a bit of theory to understand them and put them into context, and then I will ask you some questions so you may choose your own path, relying on your personal resources and that which you already have in you. No, this is not another manual on how to be the perfect mother. It is a book to find and trust in the sufficiently good mother you already are.

Publisher Annotation: From bestselling, National Book Award-winning author Elizabeth Acevedo comes her first novel for adults, the story of one Dominican-American family told through the voices of its women as they await a gathering that will forever change their lives. Flor has a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. So when she decides she wants a living wake--a party to bring her family and community together to celebrate the long life she's led--her sisters are surprised. Has Flor forseen her own death, or someone else's? Does she have other motives? She refuses to tell her sisters, Matilde, Pastora, and Camila. But Flor isn't the only person with secrets. Matilde has tried for decades to cover the extent of her husband's infidelity, but she must now confront the true state of her marriage. Pastora is typically the most reserved sister, but Flor's wake motivates this driven woman to solve her sibling's problems. Camila is the youngest sibling, and often the forgotten one, but she's decided she no longer wants to be taken for granted. And the next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face tumult of their own: Yadi is reuniting with her first love, who was imprisoned when they were both still kids; Ona is married for years and attempting to conceive. Ona must decide whether it's worth it to keep trying--to have a child, and the anthropology research that's begun to feel lackluster. Spanning the three days prior to the wake, Family Lore traces the lives of each of the Marte women, weaving together past and present, Santo Domingo and New York City. Told with Elizabeth Acevedo's inimitable and incandescent voice, this is an indelible portrait of sisters and cousins, aunts and nieces--one family's journey through their history, helping them better navigate all that is to come.
