A self-described migrant provocateur with a "hyper-Mexican mustache and loungy sideburns," Guillermo Gomez-Pena performs as he lives and travels -- from America through Europe, Asia, and North Africa -- making his border crossings and crosscultural misencounters into art. He reflects in Spanish, English, and Spanglish, seeking out Mexican and Chicano communities, retracing the roots of his heritage, and revisiting the many overlapping cultures to which he belongs: diasporic Latin Americans, people on the margins of society, the hybrids, the renegades.

In Dangerous Border Crossers, he interweaves poems, performance chronicles, essays, radio scripts, and reflections on culture, politics, and identity, from his life on the road. His landmark pieces -- such as his interlude as an "endangered species" inside a Plexiglas box and his disarming confessions -- set the tone: by turns shocking, facetious, erotic, political, and urgent.
Passionate, myth-breaking, emotionally resonant, and electrifying, Dangerous Border Crossers connects a remarkable range of subjects, revealing what goes into the making of performance art, and establishing Gomez-Pena as one of this century's most persuasive voices for a borderless future. .

From the author of the cult hit Blood Makes the Grass Grow Green, another riveting book of immersion journalism, exploring the violent, poignant, and darkly comic world of illegal immigration

Johnny Rico set out to cross the Mexican border as the natives do—over the fence and through the desert: a task that, in theory, seemed easy to execute, but was complicated by the messy reality of Border Patrol, drug cartels, and human-smuggling “coyotes.”

Posing as a journalist covering “that whole border issue,” Rico rode along with and interviewed illegal immigrants, the Minutemen (citizen activists who patrol the border), and humanitarian groups, such as Humane Borders, that put water in the desert for crossing immigrants.

In the process, Rico saw the issue of illegal immigration from all sides—that of Mexican illegals, law enforcement, migrant activists, farmers, employers, day labor site managers, and angry citizens.

Ending with Rico’s own frenetic last-minute crossing, Border Crosser is simultaneously an adventure travelogue, an analysis of border politics, and a frenzied tale of a misfit hungry for adventure and desperate to find his place in the world..

From one of the prominent Chicano poets writing today comes a collection of poems to take your breath away. With dazzling speed and energy, Juan Felipe Herrera sends readers rocketing through verbal space in a celebration of the rhythms and textures of words that will make you want to shout, dance, and read out loud. Lika a wild ride in a fast car, Border-Crosser with a Lamborghini Dream moves at breakneck speed, a post-Lorca journey across the new millennium terrain. Words careen through space and time, through blighted urban landscapes, past banjos and bees, past AIDS faces and mad friars, past severed heads and steel-toed border-crosser boots. To the rhythm of "The Blue Eyed Mambo that Unveils My Lover's Belly" and the sounds of the Last Mayan Acid rock band, Herrera races through the hallucinations of a nation that remains just outside of paradise. With dazzling poems that roar from the darkest corners of our minds toward an ecstatic celebration of the lushness of language, Border-Crosser with a Lamborghini Dream is a celebration of a world that is both sacred and cruel, a world of "Poesy Chicano style undone wild" by one of the most daring poets of our time..
