ALT Cover of The Border Reader, edited by Gilberto Rosas and Mireya Loza. Cover is an image of a rusting metal wall stretching out into a hilly horizon. On one side of the wall is a town, with patches of green, and on the other side are distant mountains, a road, and empty fields. The sky is gray and foggy.
