The poems accompany Primitivo, who attempts to cross the border, an imaginary boundary that becomes more real and challenging as his journey progresses, and his sister Primitiva, who lives an alternate, static life as an exploited migrant worker in la fabrica. The tech world and bureaucracy collide, with humanity falling by the wayside, as Primitiva endures drudgery in la fabrica. "In the past our ID cards were decorative. Now, we switch off with someone else, another worker who will wipe the serenade from our eyes." With no way to escape the simulation, Primitivo and Primitiva must participate in it, scheming to win its favor. To win, you must be the best performer in the factory, the best imitation of a citizen, the best machine. Featuring a bilingual format for English and Spanish readers, The Border Simulator explores physical and metaphysical borders, as well as the digital divide of our modern era. With inventive imagery, spirited wordplay, and thrilling movement, these energetic poems oscillate between the harrowing and the joyful, interrogating, innovating, and ultimately redefining binaries and divisions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Boundaries $v Poetry. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $v Poetry. 650 7 $a Boundaries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837076 651 7 $a North America $z Mexican-American Border Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239966 655 7 $a poetry. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300055931 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a PoeÌsie. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000476 700 1 $a Tiniacos, Natasha, $d 1981- $e translator. 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Dozal, Gabriel. $t Border simulator. 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Dozal, Gabriel. $t Border simulator. $l Spanish. 941 $a 1 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240516010425.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7262E3E134911EF9E2D8B812AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
