"Traveling has always been a part of my heart, I realize now that I got my travel bug from my parents. It started the moment they decided to immigrate to the U.S. and all of those years they took us on those road trips back to México and instilled in us the importance of family and tradition. My heart was always looking for ways to return to México. The courage that I needed to put in my two weeks' notice to travel back to the motherland and to have faith that I would be alright came from them, from the example they set going to a country they didn't know, figuring it out, and realizing that it turned out alright for them. I didn't need to find the courage out on an adventure, but the adventure did help me realize that I had courage in me all along as an inheritance from my family. All I needed was to reconnect with it".In Aventura, Amor y Tacos, Maira Hernández traveled to her motherland in Michoacán, México to spend several months with her abuelos in the ranchos her parents were raised in to reconnect to the life they had left behind.

It was never Toño's plan to leave El Salvador behind. Toño has spent his entire life rising hours before dawn to feed the animals and mind the farm of his father Jose Angel. He wants nothing more than a plot of land and a farm of his own. And he knows exactly how to get it: make his way across the Mexican border to the United States of America, where he'll earn enough money to help his family and himself. It's like Jose Angel says the day Toño leaves: "You always have a home to come back to." But the year is 1979. And the Salvadoran Civil War is about to begin. Now Toño is working under the table for jewelers and roofers and cohabitating with his fellow immigrants, working every moment he can to secure his plans. He's searching for a woman who might help him start his own family in El Salvador, and abandoning those who won't sacrifice their dreams for his-all the while ignoring his father's warnings of the chaos back home. What happens when a dream disappears? In uncertain circumstances in an unfamiliar country, can you find another life to fight for? Marcos Antonio Hernandez's The Education of a Wetback is a moving story of the haphazard, unexpected search for the American dream.

Jupiter's Travels -Ted Simon's astonishing 4 year motorbike journey around the world The book that inspired Ewan McGregor's Long Way Round In the late 1970s Ted Simon set off on a Triumph and rode 63,000 miles over four years through fifty-four countries in a journey that took him around the world. Through breakdowns, prison, war, revolutions, disasters and a Californian commune, he travelled into the depths of fear and reached the heights of euphoria. He met astonishing people and was treated as a spy, a welcome stranger and even a god. For Simon the trip became a journey into his own soul, and for many others - including bikers Charley Boorman and Ewan McGrergor - it provides an inspiration they will never forget. This classic text, which has informed a whole genre of travel writing in the thirty years since it was first published, will never be bettered for sheer adventure, passion, humour and honesty. Brought up in England by a German mother and a Romanian father, Ted Simon found himself impelled by an insatiable desire to explore the world. It led him to abandon an early scientific career in favour of journalism, and he has worked for several newspapers and magazines on Fleet Street and elsewhere. Ted Simon is also the author of Riding Home and The Gypsy in Me.

When Latino migration to the U.S. South became increasingly visible in the 1990s, observers and advocates grasped for ways to analyze "new" racial dramas in the absence of historical reference points. However, as this book is the first to comprehensively document, Mexicans and Mexican Americans have a long history of migration to the U.S. South. Corazon de Dixie recounts the untold histories of Mexicanos' migrations to New Orleans, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and North Carolina as far back as 1910. It follows Mexicanos into the heart of Dixie, where they navigated the Jim Crow system, cultivated community in the cotton fields, purposefully appealed for help to the Mexican government, shaped the southern conservative imagination in the wake of the civil rights movement, and embraced their own version of suburban living at the turn of the twenty-first century. Rooted in U.S. and Mexican archival research, oral history interviews, and family photographs, Corazon de Dixie unearths not just the facts of Mexicanos' long-standing presence in the U.S. South but also their own expectations, strategies, and dreams.
