About this item
by Beatrice Pita (Author), Rosaura S疣chez (Author)
Fiction. Latino/Latina Sci Fi. Illustrations by Mario A. Chacon. Twenty-second century Cholos living on Cali-Texas Reservations have few options. One of them is signing up as Moon Tecos, technicians disposing of Earth's waste on Lunar sites. After discovering that their Teco contracts are one-way tickets, the LUNAR BRACEROS are forced to take matters into their own hands. "It's like nothing I've ever read. LUNAR BRACEROS delivers. It's a powerful social narrative that creates an alternative imaginative reality and explores the dynamics of space travel in relation to the Americas"-Angie Chabram, UC Davis. "I've been waiting for this kind of novel for most of my life, a work of science fiction from below, focused on people of color, that takes on big ideas about history, politics, capitalism, philosophy, and science"-Curtis Marez, UC San Diego.--
