Ana Cerezuela conecta en su poesía con ese hilo histórico de la literatura donde lo privado y lo público se unen para hacer, desde lo propio, un espacio común en el cual se habite (?). No me parece casual el título del libro ?más apropiado, imposible? ni la voz construida en los poemas. Fuerza, hondura, elaboración con claridad, superando la dicotomía del verso y la prosa, donde se juntan o entremezclan.Al ?nal, entendemos que la eternidad son esos momentos donde el tiempo nunca importa. Ya vendrá luego a recordarnos, como una inundación, que está ahí, existe imparable. Y cuando lo haga, no estaremos solos, tendremos este libro, La rabia, como una tabla para aferrarnos, protegernos, encontrar un lugar seguro, un hogar. Por eso, acaricia estos poemas, ábrelos, son tuyos: esta rabia te pertenece.

In the late 1960s and '70s, artists in Yugoslavia rejected the official language of expression licensed by the regime, abstract art, and replaced it with "anti-art" - works on the borderline of the form that balanced between amateurism and professionalism and breached modernist conventions. These artists seized upon the opportunities to disseminate their art offered by film clubs - public institutions that brought together amateur artists and served as enclaves of freedom. "As Soon as I Open My Eyes I See a Film" explores this crucial period in the Yugoslav art scene and situates it in the broader cultural context of Central and Eastern Europe.

Political discourse on immigration in the United States has largely focused on what is most visible, including border walls and detention centers, while the invisible information systems that undergird immigration enforcement have garnered less attention. Tracking the evolution of various surveillance-related systems since the 1980s, Borderland Circuitry investigates how the deployment of this information infrastructure has shaped immigration enforcement practices. Ana Muñiz illuminates three phenomena that are becoming increasingly intertwined: digital surveillance, immigration control, and gang enforcement. Using ethnography, interviews, and analysis of documents never before seen, Muñiz uncovers how information-sharing partnerships between local police, state and federal law enforcement, and foreign partners collide to create multiple digital borderlands. Diving deep into a select group of information systems, Borderland Circuitry reveals how those with legal and political power deploy the specter of violent cross-border criminals to justify intensive surveillance, detention, brutality, deportation, and the destruction of land for border militarization.
