Reviews

“A chilling vision of the ‘imperial fucking holding pen’ in México, where the US exportation of public misery meets Fernández’s penetrating critique. Precisely in a moment when we need more and better knowledge about how US policies perpetuate police death, mass incarceration and imperial femicide, Fernández’s unsettling book gives it to us.”
—Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera, Professor, Universidad de Puerto Rico-Mayagüez “One of the most poignant, searing, and, at times, deadpan critiques of the United States and its mass media that I have ever read… An extraordinary and unorthodox travelogue.”
—The Los Angeles Review of Books on Fernández’s Exile “This is a travel memoir like no other: incredibly funny, observant, humane, anarchic, politically incisive, sophisticated, and raffish. Belén Fernández is a dangerously enchanting siren."
—Francisco Goldman, author of Monkey Boy, on Fernández’s Exile "This is a highly readable and, at times, darkly funny book."
—Canadian Dimension
