Thread on #AmericanDirt fr a reader/ journalist who's scurried different parts of th migrant trail for 30 years. Where you see "profound achievement" the me who 1rst saw Salvadoran refugees bombed in the 80s & 90s sees profound ignorance & shallow opportunism. (pic I took in 91) 
Where you find #AmericanDirt "thrilling and devastating," the part of me pursued by death squads on both sides of the border sees a cartoon, a simplistic, silly cartoon. lat.ms/2qNPQa0
Where many reviewers find #AmericanDirt "heart-pounding, page-turning" the part of me that's gone to gang hideouts in areas overrun with tanks and mass graves I find the book an insufferable, inaccurate & stereotypical bore. bit.ly/24IZ7x6
