BCB Our Migrant Souls

• Social Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / American / Hispanic & Latino Studies 
• Biography & Autobiography / Hispanic & Latino

A a generation-defining, historic work by the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer about the twenty-first-century Latino experience and identity. Like a Latino version of Ta Nehisi Coates's Between the World & Me or Baldwin's The Fire Next Time.

• Infused with Tobar's own personal story about growing up the son of Guatemalan immigrants, and with the stories of hundreds of young people he has taught as a university professor. It's about what it means and feels like to be Latino in American right now; directed at young Latino people like his own children and his students, but also speaking to a much wider audience. Addresses the legacies of hate and fearmongering fomented long before the Trump, and points towards a path forward.
• Tobar is the winner of a Pulitzer Prize. He's writing frequently for The New York Times and Los Angeles Times on topics related to race, violence, and identity.
• His last novel did not have huge sales but he is a non-fiction writer at heart and this is his first non-fiction work since his best-seller Deep Down Dark. He's writing frequently for The New York Times and Los Angeles Times on topics related to race, violence, and identity. He's the right person to write this book.
