Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.4MB
Overview: A chronicle of translation, storytelling, and borders as understood through the United States’ “immigration crisis”
In this powerful and deeply felt memoir of translation, storytelling, and borders, Alejandra Oliva, a Mexican-American translator and immigrant justice activist, offers a powerful chronical of her experience interpreting at the US-Mexico border.
Having worked with asylum seekers since 2016, she knows all too well the gravity of taking someone’s trauma and delivering it to the warped demands of the U.S. immigration system. As Oliva’s stunning prose recounts the stories of the people she’s met through her work, she also traces her family’s long and fluid relationship to the border—each generation born on opposite sides of the Rio Grande.
