Memorias del Silencio

Memorias del Silencio: Footprints of the Borderlands – memoriasdelsilencio.jpg

El objetivo del proyecto era ofrecer talleres de creación literaria a clases de GED (equivalencia de preparatoria) para trabajadores del campo y sus familias, con la idea de mejorar sus técnicas de escritura y de lectura. Este libro contiene historias que hablan del trabajo en los campos de Estados Unidos, y de la condición de los emigrantes en éste país. Fue muy bien recibido por el público, y después de que los fondos proporcionados por la ciudad de El Paso terminaran, BorderSenses y El Paso Community College, Community Education Program decidieron continuar con el proyecto para la publicación del Segundo Volumen de Memorias del Silencio: Footprints of the Borderland en 2006.
