Jimena Pérez puede volar / by Argueta, Jorge,author.(CARDINAL)349837; Vanden Broeck, Fabricio,1954-illustrator.(CARDINAL)366669; Bell, Elizabeth(Translator),translator.(CARDINAL)609416; Argueta, Jorge.Jimena Pérez puede volar.; Argueta, Jorge.Jimena Pérez puede volar.English.(CARDINAL)827454;
Ages 10-15.Grades 7-9."Ten-year-old Jimena Pérez loves life with her parents in El Salvador. They sell fruit at the market, just like her grandmother and great grandmother did. "Fruits / are a blessing / like you, Jimena," her mother tells her. But one day a group of boys threaten her friend Rosenda at school. "You know / what will happen / to your family / if you don't join us." Jimena's parents, afraid gangs will try to recruit her too, decide she must go to the United States with her mother. She is excited and fearful, and doesn't want to leave her father, friends and dog Sultán. "I felt sad / the way fruit looks / when it's past ripeness." By bus, train and on foot, mother and daughter make their way north, until one night, bright lights fill the sky and men in green uniforms rip Jimena from her mother. Imprisoned with children from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico, Jimena and the others cry for their parents. One boy repeats over and over, "My father's name is Marcos / He is in Los Angeles." A box full of books brings her some solace, reminding her of the ones donated to kids at the market in El Salvador. "The letters kiss me / like my mama's words / like my papa's words / I am a little bird / Nothing can stop me / I can fly." In this poignant narrative poem for kids ages 10-15, award-winning Salvadoran poet Jorge Argueta movingly captures the fear that drives so many Central Americans to flee their countries and the anguish created by separating children from their parents at the US border. Putting a human face on the millions of people who flee their homelands each year, this book will help young people understand the difficulties of migration and leaving behind all that is dear." -- Publisher's descriptionAccelerated ReaderAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated Reader AR

Vidas desplazadas : la migración en México / by Saiz Valenzuela, Ana Mercedes,editor,contributor.(CARDINAL)897414; Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial,publisher.(CARDINAL)613933; Editorial Debate.(CARDINAL)887839;
Includes bibliographical references."Con esta obra se presenta un mosaico que ayuda a esclarecer la dinámica migratoria partiendo de una visión global, enfatizando la dinámica regional y poniendo el reflector sobre México como país de origen, tránsito, destino y retorno. Los artículos que integran el libro analizan cuestiones específicas que brindan una radiografía de las fallas y oportunidades que tiene nuestro sistema de gestión de los movimientos de población y que impactan en los aspectos más cotidianos y básicos de la vida de las personas migrantes y refugiadas. A partir de estos textos podemos comprender que las políticas migratorias no obedecen a la realidad de un mundo globalizado ni a las necesidades de los mercados laborales o a la economía, ni tampoco a la realidad demográfica del Norte Global. Se contraponen, incluso, al sentido común, y se basan en el miedo, la discriminación y los prejuicios. Así, esta obra es una oportunidad para mirar de manera diferente las migraciones, que deben ser gestionadas de una manera más humana y aprovechadas como motor de desarrollo."
