Have you read Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream: True Tales of Mexican Migration by Sam Quinones? The University Libraries has many resources related to the book’s stories about the United States-Mexico border and migration between those two countries. Of Guns and Dreams: Reflections on Migration between the US and Mexico, an exhibition in Zimmerman Library’s Herzstein Latin American Reading Room highlights some of these collections. We hope these images and stories will inspire discussion in class, with friends, and at home.

The photographs and posters on display come from the Sam L. Slick Collection of Latin American and Iberian Posters, the Douglas Kent Hall U.S.-Mexican Border Photograph Collection and the Collection of Photographs of Mexico and Mexican People by Contemporary Photographers – all housed in the Center for Southwest Research at Zimmerman Library. The map of Mexico exhibited in the Herzstein Latin American Reading Room comes from our Map and Geographic Information Center located in the Centennial Science and Engineering Library. The news stories posted in the Herzstein Latin American Reading Room are from various resources including licensed databases offered through the University Libraries web page at http://elibrary.unm.edu.  

Check out the Lobo Reading Experience LibGuide at http://libguides.unm.edu/reading for more information about Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream, including chapter summaries, book reviews, interviews, and lists of books and DVDs on themes relevant to this remarkable book. Many of these books are on display in the Herzstein Latin American Reading Room and elsewhere in the University Libraries system; the DVDs are available for checkout at the Fine Arts and Design Library.
