- Title
To Live and Die in El Valle by Oscar Mancinas (review).
- Authors
Martinez-Abbud, Sophia
- Abstract
Oscar Mancinas's collection of short stories is as heartbreaking as it is comforting to those of us who grew up around the US-Mexico border. Mancinas's collection calls attention to the different and adaptable interpersonal relationships around settler-colonial landscapes to highlight how the needs, wants, and desires of border-dwellers are always stunted by far-reaching, de-placed bordering regimes. I El otro lado i beckons with its multiple implications: the other side of Mexico, the other side of the rez, the other side of precarity.
