The Crossing

Más información sobre el libro

El Paso serves as a pivotal backdrop in American history, challenging the traditional East-to-West narrative. It highlights the city as a critical intersection of Indigenous cultures, European colonization, and immigration, marking it as the true starting point of the American story. The region was central to Native American trade routes, the Indian Wars, and significant Civil Rights battles, establishing a diverse, multi-ethnic community. Richard Parker's work redefines El Paso as a foundational element of the nation's history and a model for a more inclusive future.
