"Juventud! Growing Up on the Border: Stories and Poems" by Rene Saldana Jr. is a poignant exploration of the complexities of adolescence along the U.S.-Mexico border. Through a collection of compelling stories and evocative poems, Saldana delves into themes of identity, culture, and the struggles faced by young people in a bicultural environment. The narratives capture the vibrant experiences of growing up with friends and family while confronting challenges such as immigration, cultural expectations, and personal aspirations. With rich imagery and heartfelt honesty, Saldana creates a vivid portrait of youth navigating the unique socio-political landscape of the border.
