Trade Review
In Cabañuelas, both author and protagonist are ethnographers, co-weaving a story rich in descriptions of folklore, architecture, landscape, relationships, and academia while telling a transtemporal and transcontinental story of self-affirmation against the historical backdrops and center-stage landscapes of Spain, Mexico, and the United States."" - Larissa M. Mercado-López, coeditor of (Re)mapping the Latina/o Literary Landscape
