Synopsis
Cajas de cartón is the first title in the literary series Nuestra visión: U.S. Latino Literature, which features original works by Latino authors living and working in the United States. This work is the Spanish version of the author's award-winning collection of stories, The Circuit. Jiménez' 12 independent but intertwined short stories chronicle the experiences of a Mexican-American family of migrant farm laborers, as narrated by one of the children, Panchito. Unlike many readers for this level, which anthologize standard works, this book presents authentic, outstanding literature and themes that are highly relevant to native Spanish speakers in the U.S.

06/22/2001: 'Cajas de Cart?n'meaning 'Cardboard Boxes' in English, is an outstanding literary piece about the hard lives of Mexican migrant workers and their families. The story, as told by a child, whose transient life is reflected in the title of this book, is truly as real to life as it could be. Life for migrant workers and their families could be very well found in cardboard boxes, because that is all they need to move from one place to the other. If you can read Spanish, you should definitely read this book. Otherwise, this would be the perfect reason to start learning. Even more, an English translation is a must, to reach out a wider reading audience.
