Accordion Eulogies: A Memoir of Music, Migration, and Mexico by Noé Álvarez

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

Very heavy but very profound. This truly reads like a eulogy or corrido. There are some extremely beautiful and poetic passages and you can really feel the emotion on the page. It also gives a deep look into the forgotten parts of Mexico where indigenous peoples still face violence, discrimination, and loss in unfathomable numbers. 

Seeing Noe fill in his missing ancestral story in a raw and emotional way really stays with you.
