Description of In the Shadows of the Freeway: Growing Up Brown & Queer
Review Selected one of 'Twenty Good Reads' of�2019 by the Tucson Weekly.'Otero's deeply compelling, meticulously researched, powerful memoir will resonate with many. Through masterful storytelling, the author unflinchingly explores themes of connection and disconnection, racism, erasure, queerness, struggle, joy, trauma, heartbreak, and love. Otero weaves their personal narrative with familial and municipal histories that were profoundly impacted by the destructive forces of white power structures that demolished neighborhoods in the twentieth century.'--Jamie Manser,�Z�calo Magazine�co-founder'Historian Lydia Otero employs the first person perspective to write themselves into the history of a working class barrio's devastation and endurance. Written with a cool, unpretentious ease, Otero's memoir makes a notable contribution to Queer and Latinx Studies while also reaching wide audiences interested in the politics of urban planning and development from a brown queer lens. This is queer of color theory born in the body and borders of the Southwest. A vital, unique, powerful memoir.'--Emma P�rez, author of�The Decolonial Imaginary: Writing Chicanas into History'A poignant, humorous and sometimes tragic coming of age memoir of sexual identity and� racial and cultural awareness and empowerment in an historic era of great social change in Tucson. It tells a story that has not been told. A must read!'--Patricia Preciado Martin, author of�Beloved Land: An Oral History of Mexican Americans in Southern Arizona�and�Songs My Mother Sang to Me: An Oral History of Mexican American Women Read more About the Author In 2019, Arizona's C�sar E. Ch�vez Holiday Coalition awarded to Lydia R. Otero the Dolores Huerta Legacy Award for their activism and scholarship focusing on bringing awareness to Mexican American and local history.
