Alfredo Corchado has written movingly about his search for home. Many people struggle to find their place in the world and feel they don't fit anywhere. Born in Mexico but raised in the United States, Corchado first believes his problem is geography. Over many years, toggling between the two countries, he can't escape the fact that both Mexico and the United States are inside him. He actually feels most Mexican while spending time with friends in Philadelphia. Those friends - three different personalities from very different backgrounds - form the backbone of the story. I found myself rooting for all four men to succeed, understanding that "success" means four different things. Mostly I wanted Corchado, who I've known and admired since he was a young reporter, to find his dream, and his home. He tells the story as an immigrant saga across the generations, complete with a skilled reporter's view of the history and politics of immigration, but ultimately this is the story of a good kid who grew into a good man trying to find his place in the world.
This is an often heart-rendering tale and illuminating history lesson written by an award-winning Mexican American journalist of what it feels like to be torn between his two countries, to be alone in a world where he is trying to assimilate, to feel like a fish out of water at the prominent newspaper where he works, even though he rightly belongs, and to finally meet three men who become lifelong friends who share hopes, dreams, and a common thread that keep them together over the span of decades, like the brothers they never had.Alfredo Corchado wonderfully demonstrates with soul and brilliant historical facts the hardship of his own family’s immigration experience and that of his friends and others bringing our current affairs closer to heart and home in his book HOMELANDS: FOUR FRIENDS, TWO COUNTRIES, AND THE FATE OF THE GREAT MEXICAN-AMERICAN MIGRATION.
I highly recommend “Homelands: Four Friends, Two Countries, and the Fate of the Great Mexican-American Migration†written by Alfredo Corchado. Corchado is an award winning journalist whose coverage of Mexico, the Mexico-US relationship, and the borderlands - that liminal space between the two countries - has spanned more than 25 years.In this, his latest book, Corchado masterfully weaves memoir and history into a tapestry that brings to life the experiences - at times hopeful and optimistic, at other times fearful and filled with sorrow - of Mexican immigrants and their decisions to leave their ancestral homelands. The lives of Corchado’s extended family and his group of friends - all really interesting people, including his mother, a heroic figure - are played out over time against the broader historical, political, economic and demographic realities of the US and Mexico, including the forces of globalization and the push-pull dynamics of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).Despite the fact that “immigration†has been a contentious issue in the US for decades and despite numerous serious studies and analyses that should have dispelled long ago the recurring corrosive myths about immigration and immigrants, especially those from Mexico, the myths remain alive. It seems that in the subject of immigration, passion all too often trumps knowledge.Perhaps because Corchado’s book is not an academic article, nor a piece of straight news reporting, but rather the weaving of history with the stories about real people, about family and close friends, Corchado succeeds in immersing the reader into the world of the Mexican immigrants. Devoid of sentimentality, Corchado’s journey is an eventful one in search for answers to questions such as “What does it mean to be an American?†“What is the true nature of US society?†“Where do I fit in? “What would I be if I never left the land of my birth?†“Should we have stayed and not become part of the Mexican diaspora?†His three friends whom he met in Philadelphia in 1987, when he had just taken a job with the Wall St Journal, also ask themselves these innermost questions. The four friends became friends for life, sharing a love for the fullness of Mexicanness (and Tequila) as well as for the opportunities that life in the US has given them. The unfolding experiences of these friends and of Corchado’s family, as well as the lives of the many immigrants he meets and talks to throughout the American heartland, are compelling stories of the human spirit striving for survival and a better life, of courage and dogged determination, of joy and heartache. Corchado’s stories will teach the reader many things about “immigration†beyond what one would learn from an academic treatment of the subject. In the final analysis, one learns that the American Dream is not dead. It is real and will remain possible for those whose dedicated hard work, sacrifice, and struggle can be summarized as thus: we cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are.
First this is a wonderfully written book of really three stories: a friendship, a family, and two countries more concerned with manipulating facts for the convenience of election politics. It illuminates the sad truth that politics are only about elections and the idea of serving a country and the person's in that country have long been lost. The greatest threat is not an immigrant, it is the loss of journalism principles in the story of both context and facts for greater understanding. A diet of convincing and contradicting tweets will do more rot our democracy and America than any immigration wave.
