Sandra Cisneros really said, “If you don’t like
#AmericanDirt, go write some poems”

I wrote about
#AmericanDirt for the@BostonGlobe as someone who has covered immigration for years. The very premise of Jeannine Cummins' novel shows that she has a fundamental misunderstanding of who is being targeted by violent policies: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/01/30/opinion/what-were-missing-controversy-around-american-dirt/ … -

I haven't seen any threats on Twitter, just A LOT of criticism. Could it be that Cummins and/or Flatiron Books don't want to deal with protesters? Do they want to avoid being asked tough questions about the book and these barbed wire centerpieces?

For the 30 yrs. I've been writing about Latino issues, I've been subjected to constant 'vitriol' and ethnic hatred from 'readers.' (As have most Latinx writers). Not once has any institution I worked for stepped forward to defend me against racism

My fourth piece so far on the
#AmericanDirt controversy, focusing on the question I keep getting from so many (mostly white) folks: "Why are y'all so mad? It's just a book of fiction!" (Previously a Twitter thread.) https://medium.com/@davidbowles/american-dirt-dignity-equity-de6b6a3b8ad0?source=friends_link&sk=260086a51b5078626dfc7c047c1d6edb … -
Here's why no one should be surprised Sandra Cisneros endorsed American Dirt. Yeah, I said it. Fight me.

#AmericanDirt. “The book is widely & strongly believed to be exploitative, oversimplified & ill-informed, too often erring on the side of trauma fetishization & sensationalization of migration” https://lithub.com/dear-oprah-winfrey-82-writers-ask-you-to-reconsider-american-dirt/ …Prikaži ovu nit -
People love to say they want to give “voice to the voiceless” — until the “voiceless” demand to speak for themselves.
@NotesFromHeL with the absolute truth on#AmericanDirt & the book industry’s failure to tackle the real issue: equality. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/helen-ubinas-jeanine-cummins-american-dirt-20200131.html?outputType=amp#click=https://t.co/nrGmjnIZ84 … -

@DavidOBowles says Macmillan/Flatiron has agreed to include more Latinos in its enterprise, from staff to authors. He calls it a ‘clear victory’ following criticism of#AmericanDirt. -
People tweeting all "Y'all mad about
#AmericanDirt when the supreme court just did blah blah blah." Bitch, I can be mad at multiple things at once. I'm an emotional acrobat. -
If anyone wondered what
@lesbrains left as a teaser in my article last week, she and other#DignidadLiteraria folks met w/ Flatiron Books today in NYC. Macmillan has pledged to increase Latinx representation in publishing as a result of their efforts!#AmericanDirt https://twitter.com/gsanroman2/status/1223035633557331973 … -
Wait....WAIT! WAIT A GOTDAYUM MINUTE! So Cummins isn't the one who received threats? It was a DIFFERENT speaker!?

IMPORTANT THREAD. The strategy of the publishing Establishment caught in the act of the blatant & coded racism exposed in the
#AmericanDirt fiasco appears to center on deflection designed to accomplish several things at once. pic.twitter.com/1OuosxACMf

So
#AmericanDirt gets the cancel culture treatment. Are y'all working on cancelling James Patterson or that's just for women writers?#AlexCross -

Okay, so.... here's the one thing with the
#AmericanDirt discourse that bugs me. Everyone keeps saying that this STARTED or sparked the conversation about the problems in publishing. This erases decades of work by BIPOC, particularly WoC, ESPECIALLY Black women.Prikaži ovu nit
