Detrás del primer muro había más muro, más rejas, y cámaras y reflectores y sensores de movimiento, además de soldados armados hasta los dientes y helicópteros de caza; no era solo cuestión de saltar y escabullirse en la tierra de la libertad. Esta frontera no era como las de América Central, tan endebles, ni como la que separa a México de Guatemala.

En pequeños grupos o tan grandes como para formar caravanas, personas originarias de Centroamérica, y otras partes del mundo, que se dirigen a Estados Unidos, detienen su paso en las ciudades fronterizas de México. Antes y durante la pandemia de covid-19, la escritora Yael Weiss realizó estancias en las principales: Ciudad Hidalgo, Ciudad Juárez, Tenosique, Tijuana y Reynosa, para conocer de primera mano las historias de mujeres, niños y hombres que recorrieron de sur a norte el territorio mexicano, a pesar del miedo a la enfermedad, el hambre, la migra y el narco.

Los muros de aire y otras crónicas de frontera es el retrato dinámico de los problemas y los azares de la migración. Un inigualable mosaico de voces que representa una diversidad de experiencias, motivaciones y sueños. Cinco crónicas literarias que nos acercan a los caminos, a los albergues, a sus comedores y dormitorios, pero también a esas zonas grises, tierras de nadie, kilómetros y kilómetros peligrosos de andar o rodear antes de llegar a la línea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Behind the first wall there was more wall, more bars, cameras, searchlights, and motion sensors, not to mention soldiers locked and loaded, and helicopters. It was not just a matter of jumping and sneaking into the land of freedom. This border was not like those in Central America, so flimsy, nor like the one between Guatemala and Mexico.

In small groups, or big enough to form caravans, people from Central America and other parts of the world, on their way to the United States, stop in Mexico's border towns. Before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, writer Yael Weiss stayed in a few major cities--Ciudad Hidalgo, Ciudad Juárez, Tenosique, Tijuana, and Reynosa--to learn firsthand the stories of those women, children, and men who traveled from South to North, all across Mexican territory, despite their fear of disease, hunger, the migra, and the cartels.

Walls of Air. And Other Frontier Chronicles is a dynamic portrait of the troubles and hazards of migration. An incomparable mosaic of voices that represents a diversity of experience, motivations, and dreams. Five literary chronicles that bring us closer to the roads, shelters, dining halls, and sleeping quarters, but also to gray areas, no-man's land, miles and miles of dangers to walk through or go around before reaching the line.
