Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. The magazine Traffic got it wrong! The Border-with its frantic commerce in drugs, human beings, electronic gadgets, money and other economic units-is a lens into the future of the "new world economy." But its misunderstood, disparaged, cheated and even sentimentalized by the national media portraying it from its Big Brother perspective. Puro Border is a remedy to that bias, creating a collage rooted in the best writing from both sides of the border, plus photographs and grafitti (corridas, newspaper clips and facts) revealing life en la frontera.In the 80s and 90s, with the militarization and fencing of the border, the United States became the prototype of the worlds largest gated community. The sibling of the militarization was NAFTA, the child of corporate America and bureaucratic America. The headlines are everywhere-U.S. Marines shoot and kill 17-year-old Ezekial Hernandez in Redford, Texas; Donaldo Luis Colossio is assassinated in a Tijuana barrio; gargantuan drug busts and equally huge deliveries of stuff across the line.But underneath the ink are millions of people who live and work in this cultural, linguistic and geographic soup. The indigenous peoples of the region, like the Tohono Oddham, will tell you that the border is a make-believe line. They know because it crosses through the heart of their ancient homeland. And in Juárez the line is real enough. There over 300 young women-mostly workers in the booming maquila industries-have been disappeared. The media on the other side have mostly ignored this tragic fact.Mexican contributors include Juan Villoro, Eduardo Antonio Parra, Julian Herbert, Julian Cardona and David Ojeda. Writers north of the line include Charles Bowden, Luis Urrea, Robert Draper, Cecilia Balli, Gary Nabhan and Doug Peacock. Introduction by Bobby Byrd, and, as counterpoise, an Epilogue by Luis Humberto Crosthwaite, the Mexican editor.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 0. One evening, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer José Galvez heard Luis Alberto Urrea read "Hymn to Vatos Who Will Never Be in a Poem" with its chant-like repetitions and its evocation of Chicano manhood. As Luis read each line, an image clicked in José's memory, and he knew that he had already taken that photograph. The result of that experience is this remarkable book.A unique collaboration of two acclaimed artists, Vatos is a tribute to Latino men who are too often forgotten, ignored and misrepresented by the larger culture-children playing in the streets, migrant workers toiling for a better life, homeboys in the barrio, young men with their girlfriends and their mothers, blue collar workers, activists on the streets, sons, uncles, fathers, and grandfathers. Vatos recognizes their joys, their sorrows, their tenderness and their strength. Through Galvez' photographs and Urrea's words, they will not be forgotten.The word "vato," by the way, is Mexican-American slang, a word that means "dude" or "guy," but here it carries more soul than either of these.José Galvez was lead photographer of a L.A. Times team that received a Pulitzer Prize for a stunning portrayal about Latinos in Southern California. José and his colleagues were the first Hispanics to receive a Pulitzer. For over 30 years, Galvez has been documenting his Mexican-American culture, through photographs. He has done much freelance photojournalism and has contributed photos to the book Americanos produced by Edward James Olmos.Bloomsbury Review named Luis Alberto Urrea as one of its "10 Young Writers to Watch." His book Across the Wire, which depicts life at the edges of the dumps in Nogales, is in its 10th printing. A novelist, essayist and poet, he has received the Christopher Award, the Colorado Center for the Book Award, the Western States Book Award for Poetry, and the American Book Award.
