For the midterm, we ask that you choose a book from the following list. Each book is a work of non-fiction that serves as a more personal account of life at the border or the life of immigrants and will aid you to undestand the issues that we study academically. On the day of the midterm, come prepared to present your book and what you've learned with this personal account of the US-Mexico border. Hopefully you can find the book in the library or at a bookstore. If you find another memoir that you would like to read, please let us know so we can check it out. Please COMMENT below with the book you'd like to read - do not choose a book another person has already selected. Thanks, and happy reading!
