1400 FASHION ISLAND BLVD

Crossing the BLVD: Strangers, Neighbors, Aliens in a New America

A kaleidoscopic view of new immigrants and refugees living in Queens, New York the most ethnically diverse locality in the United States.
For three years, Warren Lehrer and Judith Sloan traveled the world by trekking the streets of their home borough. This book documents the people they encountered along the way. First person narratives are illuminated by strikingly direct photographic portraits of the subjects alongside the objects of their worlds. Lehrer's postmodern, Talmudic design juxtaposes the multiple perspectives of these new Americans, now thrown together as neighbors, classmates, coworkers, enemies, and friends. They reflect on the good, the ugly and the unexpected in their stories of crossing oceans, borders, wars, economic hardship, and cultural divides. These soulful narratives are put in context by the authors' personal and historical observations. The voices, images and sounds collected here form a portrait of a paradoxical and ever-shifting America. 500 color illustrations

Una novela esencialmente satirica que recorre por los margenes de la ciudad de La Paz, aquellos en los que se esconde un mundo que se revela de noche. La escritura como un gesto de reinterpretacion de un espacio donde el policia, el joven pandillero, el travesti, el clefero, son parte de un gran circo. La novela tambien se caracteriza por experimentar una escritura apegada a la oralidad, elemento que transforma las voces de los personajes. Este es el espacio de los invisibles, de una cultura no oficial que surge como un mundo completo, ambiguo y provocador.
