Publisher's summary

*"Voices reach out from the pages of this anthology . . . It will make a lasting impression on all readers."—SLJ, starred review

Twenty stand-alone short stories, essays, and poems from celebrated and award-winning authors make up this YA anthology that explores the Mexican American experience.

With works by Francisco X. Stork, Guadalupe Garcia McCall, David Bowles, Rubén Degollado, e.E. Charlton-Trujillo, Diana López, Xavier Garza, Trinidad Gonzales, Alex Temblador, Aida Salazar, Guadalupe Ruiz-Flores, Sylvia Sánchez Garza, Dominic Carrillo, Angela Cervantes, Carolyn Dee Flores, René Saldaña Jr., Justine Narro, Daniel García Ordáz, and Anna Meriano.

In this mixed-media collection of short stories, personal essays, and poetry, this celebrated group of authors share the borders they have crossed, the struggles they have pushed through, and the two cultures they continue to navigate as Mexican Americans. Living Beyond Borders is at once an eye-opening, heart-wrenching, and hopeful love letter from the Mexican American community to today's young listeners.

A powerful exploration of what it means to be Mexican American.

Will buy the hard copy to keep forever

So many beautifully written stories by Latinx voices. So many relatable stories and characters I could relate to. It was great to listen to many complex identity and social issues being addressed.
