Book Description
This book is a collection of poetry and prose that explores the unique relationship between people and the places they inhabit in the San Diego-Tijuana metropolitan area. Although the act of physically crossing the border is ever present, the San Ysidro Port of Entry is after all the most crossed border in the world, many other aspects compose the lives of border-dwellers. While food, music, and architecture mix the concrete world, language, mythology, and culture mix in the psyche and the soul of those who cross the line. This is a book which resides on the fence, split, yet more complete because it works to unify where others work diligently to divide.

Book Description
Este libro lo empec a escribir cuando mi hija se enferm, era tan grande mi dolor que senta la necesidad de desahogar todos esos sentimientos que me hacan sentir tan desgraciada. Quera comprender la vida, ser una mujer normal y aceptar lo que Dios me mandaba, pero algo, dentro de m se revelaba, y senta un gran resentimiento con Dios. Porqu nos castigaba de esa manera tan cruel?, y al mismo tiempo senta que Dios me daba la oportunidad de luchar por la vida de mi hija, que como todas las madres de la tierra que aman y luchan por ellos, esta confusin de sentimientos, me hacia mucho dao.

Book Description
"Literally, chilaquiles are a breakfast I grew up eating: fried corn tortillas with tomato-chile sauce. Symbolically, they are the culinary metaphor for how working-class women speak with the seasoning of their food."?from the Introduction?Through the ages and across cultures, women have carved out a domain in which their cooking allowed them to express themselves, strengthen family relationships, and create a world of shared meanings with other women. In Voices in the Kitchen, Meredith E. Abarca features the voices of her mother and several other family members and friends, seated at their kitchen tables, to share the grassroots world view of these working-class Mexican and Mexican American women. In the kitchen, Abarca demonstrates, women assert their own saz?n (seasoning), not only in their cooking but also in their lives. Through a series of oral histories, or charlas culinarias (culinary chats), the women interviewed address issues of space, sensual knowledge, artistic and narrative expression, and cultural and social change. From her mother?s breakfast chilaquiles to the most elaborate traditional dinner, these women share their lives as they share their savory, symbolic, and theoretical meanings of food. The charlas culinarias represent spoken personal narratives, testimonial autobiography, and a form of culinary memoir, one created by the cooks-as-writers who speak from their kitchen space. Abarca then looks at writers-as-cooks to add an additional dimension to the understanding of women?s power to define themselves. Voices in the Kitchen joins the extensive culinary research of the last decade in exploring the importance of the knowledge found in the practical, concrete, and temporal aspects of the ordinary practice of everyday cooking.
