A Novel About the Latina/o Experience in New Mexico
“Cibolero,” a new novel by Kermit Lopez, does not deal directly with immigration. It, however, does deal with the "migration" of the southern border of the United States. The novel is set against the backdrop of 1800s New Mexico. Antonio Baca, a former “Cibolero” or buffalo hunter, pursues his daughter's Texas Ranger kidnappers in post-Civil War era New Mexico and Texas. “Cibolero” is a fictionalized account of the Latina/o experience before and after the conquest of the Southwest. I thought it was a good read. For information about the novel, see the official website.
