[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Raised on the northern bank of the Río Grande in South Texas, acclaimed author Rolando Hinojosa attended Mexican and American schools as a child and has lived in both cultures throughout his life. \"One language supplanted the other for a while, \" he writes, \"but eventually they balanced each other out.\" His schooling contributed to an awareness of differences and similarities in those around him, and led to his search for \"a personal voice, which was to become my public voice.\"   Author of the acclaimed Klail City Death Trip series of novels, which examines relations between Mexican Americans and Anglo Americans in the fictional Rio Grande Valley town of Klail City, Texas, Hinojosa muses on various aspects of writing in these 14 essays.

To the border, to the Valley.\"   With an introduction by UCLA scholar Héctor Calderón, this collection written between 1982-2009 is required reading for anyone interested in Hinojosa's work and issues of assimilation, acculturation, border life and discrimination."]
