Summary:
"Juan Felipe Herrera's writings are charged with theatrical and
athletic energies. A hybrid collection of texts written and performed
on the road, gathered from more than thirty-five years of work in
various genres, these "undocuments" are the record of an epic journey
across many different borders: boundaries of nations, state lines,
city limits, edges of farmland, crossings and mixtures of languages
and literary forms." "From Mexico City to San Francisco, from Central
America to central California, Herrera remembers everything and gives
back to his native places and to the family, friends and compaqeros
of his Mexican/American/Chicano odyssey a scrapbook, a logbook, a
journal, a multiform confession of proud hybridity and indigenous
optimism. A sustained manifesto of resistance and affirmation, these
rants, manifestos, newspaper cut-ups, bits of street theatre,
anti-lectures, love poems and riffs tell the story of what it's like
to live outlaw and brown in the United States." "Illustrated
throughout with photos and artwork."--BOOK JACKET.
