This American Dirt controversy is another sad showing of Latinos not having a platform to tell our stories. Our stories are told through someone else's perception.
They want our stories, our food, our culture, and our languages, but they don't want us.

Historically, they have wanted our labor, but not us.

So apparently this also happened last May re: #AmericanDirt. Do not buy this book. For the love of god.

Incredible way to kick off #BookExpo2019 last night with the @Flatironbooks party and a bookseller dinner in honor of AMERICAN DIRT. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.
