It deals with Latinx death not as the literal passing of bodies, but as first tied with language. It asks, what are the hauntings of a tongue that is repeatedly told, \u2018one must learn English in order to succeed in this country\u2019? What is the psychological trauma deployed not by right-wing bigots, but of white liberal institutions that give scholarships to Latinx students, but nevertheless prop up white supremacy by viewing their payments as charity? How do Latinx students become complicit in this tokenizing? \u201cGentefication\u201d wrestles with this \u2018survivor\u2019s guilt\u2019 of higher education, of feeling as if you\u2019re the only one among your homies that \u2018made it.\u2019 And in an American moment dealing with scandals across multiple universities, this work is a timely intervention that advocates for first-generation audiences, for readers of color, and for all those vested in the protracted struggle for our fair shot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n from “TRIPTYCH OF THE ADOBE-COTTA ARMY” My fingers are desperate Only to find a Tesla \u2014now a parking garage.<\/p>\n The Amazon logo
