| 520 | |a "What lies beneath the border? Why does America justify its existence by attacking Mexicans and then rendering them invisible, in detention centers, in deportation, and by preventing them from claiming their place in the American story except as narcos and gang members? In HOW TO LOOK AWAY, Peña delves into his own fascinating life story, growing up in Texas with roots in Mexico. He also reports on a diverse array of people, transporting the reader to the kitschy underground black markets of Mexico City, where a deportee ekes out a living by hosting a "Satantic Tour" for white tourists and to the oil fields of Louisiana, where recently laid off workers confront white anxieties about their racial place in the pecking order of late capitalist America. Peña's evocative storytelling touches the unglamorous truth about narcos and mass murderers, conjuring an atmosphere of dread and longing, the strange relationship of two countries and two people forever intertwined"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
