Autobiography of Cotton Format:Paperback becomes a mondain writer andDeeply personal and politically acute, in Autobiography of Cotton, Rivera Garza crafts a new kind of border novel that tells how a brittle land radically altered her grandparents lives and the territories they helped develop. In this intimate fictionalisation, Rivera Garza reveals a rich social history of agricultural colonisation, labour activism, environmental degradation and cross border migration.
