A DRAMATIC FICTIONAL PORTRAIT OF THE US-MEXICO BORDER, MIGRATION, AND ITS IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S LIVES
_______________________

Through this network of nine personal stories, Carlos Fuentes sets out to explain Mexico and America to each other and to the rest of the world. He presents a dramatic fictional portrait of the relationship between the United States and Mexico, as played out in a Mexican dynasty led by a powerful Mexican oligarch with complex ties north of the border.

It is the story of Mexican families who send their sons north to provide for whole villages with dollars and of Mexican tycoons who exploit their own people. Young Jose Francisco grows up in Texas, determined to write about the border world the immigrants and illegals, Mexican poverty and Yankee prosperity stories to break the stand-off silence with a victory shout, to shatter at last the crystal frontier.
