Sobre el Libro /About the Book

new President begins an effort to deport 11 million people from the U.S. in

Mexico? Through the lives of characters in both countries, we see the economic

forces that would be unleashed.

Novel - Crossings - A Political Fable of The Near Future
Novel - Crossings - A Political Fable of The Near Future: Crossings - A Political Fable of The Near Future novel
Format: Paperback
So what if a U.S. president moved to deport
all those “illegals” as Donald Trump has promised? This is clever speculative
fiction about how that might play out. Its two greatest strengths: highly
readable insight into how cynical many Mexicans are about how things really
work on their side of the border and into why the work of the migrants is so
important to both countries. For the understanding it makes so palatable, this
self-described “political fable” has enduring value, regardless of what happens
in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The authors are old college buddies
(Occidental, in California), Gardner a professional writer, Robinson a recently
retired anthropology professor in Mexico City and documentary film maker
