A Show of Hands

She was born in a hospital on the East side of the city to a mother born of a mother while crossing the border in a van. That first mother, su abuelo, dead. The second, su madre, tangled up with another man. And the third, she is here stretched out on a bed, incapacitated by the kiss of hope.

Notes

«"a show of hands" and "a little show of hands" use a new kind of hypertext system to allow readers to collect tales of a Mexican-American family living in Los Angeles at the time of the immigration reform protests of 2006. Literatronic allows the readers to flow with the characters into and out of the various scenes of their lives, witnessing and building connections. Human connections are the pathways of grass-roots political movements and this electronic narative environment encourages the readers to forge these ties or else experience their tangling. Hands are our means of building these connections and losing ourselves in the tangle.» (http://hands.literatronica.net/src/Nuntius.aspx?lng=BRITANNIA&nuntius=T_ABOUT)
