“It’s like nothing I’ve ever read. Lunar Braceros delivers. It’s a powerful social narrative that creates an alternative imaginative reality and explores the dynamics of space travel in relation to the Américas.” Angie Chabram, UC Davis

I’ve been waiting for this kind of novel for most of my life, a work of science fiction from below, focused on people of color, that takes on big ideas about history, politics, capitalism, philosophy, and science.” Curtis Márez, UC San Diego
