Publisher's Synopsis
From the Source: The Memories of Mago Gilson is a bilingual memoir presented in a dual-language format-English on the left page, Spanish on the right. Told with honesty, humor, and heartfelt emotion, this powerful narrative traces the life of Margarita Moreno Zárate, from her childhood in rural Chiapas, Mexico to her journey as a migrant and mother in the United States. Through vivid storytelling, the author explores themes of family, resilience, cultural identity, and the pursuit of dignity across borders.
This edition is designed to preserve the original Spanish voice of the author while offering an English translation that invites broader access. Ideal for bilingual readers, students of Spanish or English, and anyone interested in immigrant stories, oral histories, or Latin American culture, this book offers not only an inspiring personal journey but also a valuable educational resource.
