A mix of political science, history, editorial and creative nonfiction, "Let's Talk About Your Wall" is an interesting collection that focuses on the Mexican-American border wall from the Mexican and Mexican American perspective. The essays are thought provoking, emotive and scathing in their collective disapproval of the wall as well as eye-opening on the impact of the wall in ways big and small. For example, one essay might focus on the Honduran ghettos in Mexico created by the caravan while others talk more broadly about the concept of rape in the history between the United States and Mexico. While I greatly appreciated reading this collection, one of the things that makes discussing migration so difficult is that the situation is constantly evolving. No longer has the author's pen dried on the page and a new policy has popped up. It would be interesting to see a follow up to this piece now after COVID19 pandemic as well as the news report on forced sterilizations in the Georgia ICE Detention facility.
