Borderlines: Drawing Border Lives: Fronteras: Dibujando las vidas fronterizas

English

By (author): Steven P. Schneider

Illustrated by: Reefka Schneider

Featuring 25 drawings in charcoal, conte crayons, and pastels, this handbook pairs portraits of people who live and work along the U.S. - Mexico border with bilingual poems that have been inspired by each of the drawings. A testimony to the people of the Rio Grande Valley, these drawings and poems capture their spirit, their quest for happiness, and their struggles to overcome economic hardship. This remarkable book highlights characters such as the 'young street musician', the 'six-year-old street vendor', and the 'wise woman with rings'. Compassionate and aesthetically compelling, this record raises awareness about social and cultural issues associated with border life, such as education, literacy, and poverty, and fosters cross-cultural understanding.
