Book Description
Abrecaminos: Opening the Ways: An Anthology of Story, Poetry, Testimony. Abre means to open. Caminos means way. An abrecaminos is one who opens the way, who makes a way where there is no way. One who opens one way opens many ways. These young writers explore their worlds in two anthologies accompanied by the literature of the best Latino/a writers. Each book begins with a writing peregrinage/pilgrimage to Macchu Picchu accompanied by Pablo Neruda, Las Alturas de Macchu Picchu, and this principio/principle: The way up is the way down. Their work here includes long, personal transformational poems exploring border crossings that are geographical, political and personal. Essays and stories are first documents. They witness to loss, migration, arrival. Writers explore archetypal images of women in Latin American culture, by reading and writing to, famous women in the culture, including Malinche, Guadalupe, Sor Juana, Rosario Castellanos, and Gloria Anzaldúa. Interview with their mothers are first family documents in a new country. Telling their stories to their children, the mothers anchor, and give place names to the towns and ranchos from where many of these families have emigrated. They reveal the range of experiences these families bring to a new country. Interviews with farm workers show first experiences in Yakima Valley in Eastern Washington. Written mostly in English, but going back and forth between languages, and sometimes remaining in Spanish, many of these writers are bilingual on the way to becoming bicultural. These books, which include photos of each writer and families interviewed, along with an extensive About the Author and Vocabulario sections that are documents meant to enhance understanding of the talents of these writers, as well as the complexity of the journey. The truths of their lives takes care of a great deal of misunderstanding. The fact of their beauty and stories stands in direct contradiction to their press.

Book Description
For Mexican workers, the agricultural valleys of the inland Northwest are a long way from home. But there they have established communities, settlements recent enough that it feels like these newly arrived immigrant mexicanos are pioneers, still getting used to the Anglos and to each other. This book looks at the inner lives of Mexican immigrants in a northwestern U.S. boomtown, a loose collection of families from Michoacán and surrounding states living a mere 150 miles from Canada. They are more isolated than most mexicano communities closer to home, and they endure severe winters that make life more difficult still. Neighborhoods form, dissolve, and re-form. Family members who leave may stay in touch, but friends very often simply vanish, leaving only their nicknames behind. Without a market or a plaza, residents meet at weddings, christenings, and funerals—or at the food bank. Philip Garrison has spent most of his life in this region and shares in vivid prose tales of immigrant life, both contemporary and historical, revealing the dual lives of first-generation Mexican immigrants who move smoothly between the Yakima Valley and their homes in Mexico. And with a scholar’s eye he examines figures of speech that reflect mexicano feelings about immigrant life, offering glimpses of adaptation through offhand remarks, family spats, and town gossip. Written with irony but bursting with compassion, Because I Don’t Have Wings features vivid characters, telling anecdotes, and poignant reflections on life, unfolding an immigrant’s world strikingly different from the one we usually read about. Adaptation, persistence, and survival, we learn, are traits that mexicano culture values. We also learn that, over time, mexicano immigrants don’t merely adapt to the culture of el norte, they transform it.
