<p><strong>Praise for <em>Let's Talk About Your Wall</em>:<br /></strong>"A welcome, necessary rejoinder to critics of border policy on this side of the line."<br />—<strong><em>Kirkus Reviews<br /></em><br /> </strong>“A powerful and necessary collection for our current moment.”<strong><br />—<strong><em>Ms.</em> magazine</strong><br /><br /></strong>“As informed and informative as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking, <em>Let’s Talk About Your Wall: Mexican Writers Respond to the Immigration Crisis </em>is an impressively timely and much needed contribution to the ongoing national discussion around American immigration policies, practices, and needed reforms.”<br />—<strong><em>Midwest Book Review<br /></em></strong></p>

Despite the extensive coverage in the U.S. media of the southern border and Donald Trump's proposed wall, most English speakers have had little access to the multitude of perspectives from Mexico on the ongoing crisis. Celebrated novelist Carmen Boullosa (author of Texas and Before) and Alberto Quintero redress this imbalance with this collection of essays - translated into English for the first time - drawing on writing by journalists, novelists, and documentary makers who are Mexican or based in Mexico.
