About the Book

Del premiado periodista y experto en inmigración Alfredo Corchado nos llega la extensa historia de la gran migración mexicana desde finales de los años ochenta hasta la actualidad.

Cuando Alfredo Corchado se traslada a Filadelfia en 1987 como corresponsal de The Wall Street Journal, se sintió como si fuera el único mexicano en la ciudad. Pero en el restaurant Tequilas conecta con otros dos mexicanos y un mexicoamericano que se sentían tan aislados como él y comienzan una conversación sobre qué significa ser mexicano y estadounidense al mismo tiempo y que duraría más de 30 años. La perspectiva de estos cuatro amigos -David Suro, dueño del restaurante; Primo, académico y activista social, Ken Trujillo, criado en Nuevo México y con una carrera política por delante y el propio autor, será el marco en el que se cuenta esta historia. Aunque desde Estados Unidos piensan en México y su cultura como su patria original, todos acaban descubriendo que su patria es una mezcla de ambos países.

Patrias fusiona lo político y lo personal para también narrar la historia de la última gran migración mexicana a través de los ojos de cuatro amigos desde que la población mexicana en los Estados Unidos era de 700,000 personas durante los años setenta hasta los más de 35 millones de personas en la actualidad.

Aparte de proporcionar un importante contexto histórico para el actual debate sobre inmigración, Patrias es una meditación personal y oportuna sobre lo que significa ser un "migrante" en Estados Unidos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From prizewinning journalist and immigration expert Alfredo Corchado comes the sweeping story of the great Mexican migration from the late 1980s to today.

When Alfredo Corchado moved to Philadelphia in 1987, he felt as if he was the only Mexican in the city. But in a restaurant called Tequilas, he connected with two other Mexican men and one Mexican American, all feeling similarly isolated. Over the next three decades, the four friends continued to meet, coming together over their shared Mexican roots and their love of tequila. One was a radical activist, another a restaurant/tequila entrepreneur, the third a lawyer/politician. Alfredo himself was a young reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

Homelands merges the political and the personal, telling the story of the last great Mexican migration through the eyes of four friends at a time when the Mexican population in the United States swelled from 700,000 people during the 1970s to more than 35 million people today. It is the narrative of the United States in a painful economic and political transition.

As we move into a divisive, nativist new era of immigration politics, Homelands is a must-read to understand the past and future of the immigrant story in the United States, and the role of Mexicans in shaping America's history. A deeply moving book full of colorful characters searching for home, it is essential reading.
About the Author: Alfredo Corchado es el corresponsal de The Dallas Morning News en México y autor de Midnight in Mexico (Medianoche en México). Ha sido becario de Nieman, Lannan, USMEX, Woodrow Wilson y Rockefeller y ganador de los premios Maria Moors Cabot y Elijah Parish Lovejoy por la valentía en su trabajo periodístico. Corchado vive en Ciudad de México, pero considera que su casa es la frontera.
