Father, I Must Go

Meer over het boek

Exploring the life of Jorge Frias, a Mexican immigrant from the Yucatan Peninsula, this narrative delves into his two-decade experience as an undocumented worker in the U.S. It recounts his repeated illegal entries, motivations for migration, and the challenges he faced. The book also addresses broader themes of immigration and U.S.-Mexican relations, reflecting on Jorge's Mestizo heritage, which blends Spanish and indigenous roots. Now residing in Playa del Carmen, he shares his culture as a tour guide and expresses his creativity through poetry.
