"A chilling vision of the 'imperial fucking holding pen' in Méeacute;xico, where the US exportation of public misery meets Fernáaacute;ndez's penetrating critique. Precisely in a moment when we need more and better knowledge about how US policies perpetuate police death, mass incarceration and imperial femicide, Fernández's unsettling book gives it to us."
-Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera, Professor, Universidad de Puerto Rico-Mayagüuuml;ez
"One of the most poignant, searing, and, at times, deadpan critiques of the United States and its mass media that I have ever read... An extraordinary and unorthodox travelogue."
–The Los Angeles Review of Books on Fernández's Exile
"This is a travel memoir like no other: incredibly funny, observant, humane, anarchic, politically incisive, sophisticated, and raffish. Belén Fernández is a dangerously enchanting siren."
–Francisco Goldman, author of Monkey Boy, on Fernández's Exile
