Description:After her father is abducted by immigration officials before her eyes and deported to Colombia, Ada and her sister are left in an America as all-seeing as it is hostile; torrential and dreamlike, Mauro Javier C�rdenas' story unfurls into a layered, poignant, and unflinching portrait of racismand xenophobia.American Abductions opens in a near-future America whose omnipresence of data-harvestingand algorithms has enabled the mass incarceration, and deportation of LatinAmericans--regardless of citizenship. Now adults, Ava remains in San Francisco while Eva hasjoined their father in Colombia, tending him in his ailing health. When his condition worsens, Eva asks Ada to come see them: a nearly impossible feat, given America's restrictions on LatinAmericans' movements. Ada, terribly alone, must come to terms with the violence of Americansociety and the grief of lost community. Exploring the role of technology, mass society, andstorytelling, the novel delves into the ties, memories, and lines of code binding communitiestogether.Mauro Javier C�rdenas has been lauded as one of the most promising Latin American authors, and in American Abductions, his deconstruction of American society and state proves hisgeneration-defining acuity and storytelling. The book's polyphony of mysticism, technology, and philosophy calls to mind the perceptive dystopian visions of Philip K. Dick and the visionarystylistic fluidity of Samuel Delaney. The result is a sharp and metaphysical cautionary narrative, a masterwork examining the place of Latin Americans in an America that is always changing.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
