Tales from La Vida: A Latinx Comics Anthology by Frederick Luis Aldama

4.0

In this lively collection, dozens of Latina/o comic book artists share short, visually creative, intensely personal responses to the question, What is the most significant moment of my life? The diversity of stories and backgrounds included in this book is striking. But a sense of liminality, in-betweenness, is everywhere here. One contributor says: “Living between worlds is what makes me, me.” In the words of another: “We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans! It’s exhausting!”
