First award-winning full-length collection from Karla Cordero unpacking the cultural confluence of border towns, an increasingly relevant subject to our nation's policy toward border control.
How to Pull Apart the Earth is an homage to the intrinsic thread that weaves the culture of Mexico together with the United States, and the echo of colonization that works to erase it. Cordero skillfully exemplifies the complexity & beauty of growing up in a borderland, and the sacrifices paid for the dream.
