The narrator for the audio book is bit a fast and I think the material would be best absorbed visually but still a lot to think about and I really appreciated this introduction to Rivera’s work

Some of the essays are moving, informative, and critical, and really educated me on the issues facing modern Mexico. Others seemed like they were overreaching (specifically those written about COVID). Overall, I walked away more informed than I walked into a book, always a plus for me in non-fiction.

Well written and needed. Has shifted my view on both the importance and need of writing in the face of neo-liberal "governments" of terror, and how interconnected our histories inherently are.

Una lectura esencial para comprender México en la actualidad y porqué escribir en contextos de guerra permanente.

Pain and suffering stab you with every word. It’s painful, and powerful. Read it.
