 2010 City Works Literary Journal and Student Chapbook
1-3 P.m.
D121A/B
Come celebrate the release of our college’s literary journal and student chapbook featuring poetry, fiction, photography, art work, and creative non-fiction. Students, staff, faculty writers and artists serve as the editorial board and assist with the production of the journal. In addition to publication, this event features awards in various categories. The intention of City Works is to create a journal that reflects the identity and character of City College, provide a venue for emerging local artists, broaden its reach nationally, and encourage interaction between the college and the community at large. Each year, the journal and chapbook reveal the promise and talent of our writers, many of whom are published for the first time or whose subsequent works become new books.

Wounded Border/Frontera Herida: Readings on the Tijuana/San Diego Region and Beyond |
Astute scholars from California examine the geopolitical dynamics of the U.S.-Mexican border in this eye-opening anthology. They have not only studied, but given voice to those subjected to the inhumane conditions created by a geographical boundary and its attendant globalization policies. Each contributor combines historical context and analysis with fascinating narratives that deepen our understanding of topics such as the criminalization and trauma suffered by deportees; the horrors of daily living in Juarez; NAFTA’s environmental destruction; and the role of Mexican workers and immigrants in labor struggles in Mexico and the U.S. Contributors include David Bacon; Victor Clark-Alfaro; Belinda C. Lum and Thomas E. Reifer; Maura I. Toro-Morn and Nilda Flores-Gonzalez; Martha Escobar; Sharon Allen; Justin Akers Chacón ; Jill Holsin; Pedro F. Quijada ; and David Shmidt . The anthology is published by City Works Press and is edited by Justin Akers Chacón and Enríque Dávalos.. |
