During the summer of 2018, the border community of McAllen, Texas, was ground zero for the family separation crisis. McAllen is home to the Ursula Processing Center-known as la perrera, or the dog pound, for the cage-like structures holding adults and children alike-as well as the federal courthouse where scores of Central American asylum seekers are prosecuted in mass trials under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy. But while McAllen and the rest of Texas's Rio Grande Valley gained widespread notoriety as the setting for family separations, these same border communities also became the heart of resistance. Even as the government systematically tore young children from their parents, an unlikely assemblage of activists was mobilizing to do what the government could or would not-document the identities and relationships of family members and, ultimately, reunite them.In Angry Tías: Cruelty and Compassion on the U.S.-Mexico Border, journalist and McAllen resident Daniel Blue Tyx recounts how an eclectic group of fed-up border women and under-resourced lawyers transformed their initial shock and anger at the horrors taking place in their own communities into a grassroots movement for democracy and accountability. Based on extensive interviews and reporting from detention centers, courtrooms, international bridges, and refugee shelters, Tyx weaves together the stories of activists and refugees into a narrative of a border community's resistance to creeping authoritarianism. Unflinching and compassionate, Angry Tías is an urgent warning about the permanent harm inflicted by inhumane border policies, but it's also a testament to the enduring power of community activism, and a call to join the fight against border policies and rhetoric that continue to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glimpse into the horrific family separations
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019

Excellent book on the recent (2017-now) family separation policies that have been implemented in the US. Central Americans are fleeing gang violence and domestic abuses, and yet the US is inflicting irreversible damage on asylum seekers by separating kids (even breastfeeding infants) from their parents! Learn what is happening and how you can get involved!!

Daniel captures beautifully and in amazing detail our work with asylum seekers here in the Rio Grande Valley. Although I am part of the Tias, I learned a few new things about others in this tightly woven network of humanitarian aid. Thank you, Daniel, for your insights and labor of love!
