Puentes y fronteras =

Bridges and borders

Edición de la obra Puentes y fronteras =

Using the seemingly simple copla, a traditional Spanish verse form that harks back to the Middle Ages and arises from the popular oral tradition, Gina Valdés explores the barriers between people and countries, whether those barriers are legal and physical, the border between the United States and Mexico, or personal, between lovers and friends. Her voice combines the feminist demand for power and expression with the social critic's demand for justice.
