![]() ![]() ![]() This collection includes the story of Adrián, from Guatemala City, whose mother was shot to death before his eyes. From fending off kidnappers with knives and being locked in freezing holding cells to tearful reunions with parents, Solito, Solita’s narrators bring to light the experiences of young people struggling for a better life across the border. They bring us into their hearts and onto streets filled with the lure of freedom and fraught with violence. What can they teach us about abuse and abandonment, bravery and resilience, hypocrisy and hope? In an era of fear, xenophobia, and outright lies, these stories amplify the compelling voices of migrant youth. Solito, Solita ( Alone, Alone) is an urgent collection of oral histories that tells - in their own words - the story of young refugees fleeing countries in Central America and traveling for hundreds of miles to seek safety and protection in the United States.įifteen narrators describe why they fled their homes, what happened on their dangerous journeys through Mexico, how they crossed the borders, and for some, their ongoing struggles to survive in the United States. They are a mass migration of thousands, yet each one travels alone. ![]()
