Why the Assembly Disbanded

Roberto Tejada takes readers on an evocative journey that redefines the landscape of Latinx literature and challenges preconceptions of borderlands poetics. His work intricately weaves personal narratives with broader cultural and political undertones, illuminating the complexities of identity and belonging within the context of shifting borders.
