Twenty-four emblematic authors have participated in this unique anthology, Sam no es mi tio. They are Latin American writers, reporters or members of the academia whose purpose is to write about the Americas. For them, reality is composed of millions of stories like theirs, and these stories are part of our societies. These chronicles set out to describe a contemporary microhistory of the American continent. One where the eternal migrations, violence, departures and arrivals, success and defeat, linguistic and cultural misunderstandings, racism and xenophobia cohabitate in a narration that will forever remain incomplete.

Readers will embark on fascinating and familiar paths. They will laugh and suffer with the main characters of these very real lives, as real as that friend, that cousin, or that father who left for the North, but never really talked about what happened there. Stories such as the woman who watched the Twin Towers fall with her lover, while speculating if her husband had just died, or even the one where an American defends Latin people to later be betrayed by them.

Veinticuatro cronistas participan en Sam no es mi tÃo, escritores, periodistas, y acadÃ©micos latinoamericanos que se propusieron narrar America, las AmÃ©ricas. Para ellos la realidad esta compuesta por millones de historias como las suyas que conforman nuestras sociedades. Estas crÃ³nicas son los relatos de la microhistoria americana contemporÃ¡nea. Donde las eternas migraciones, la violencia, las partidas y los regresos, el Ã©xito y la derrota, los cruces lingÃ¼Ãsticos y culturales, el racismo y la xenofobia cohabitan dentro de un relato que permanecerÃ¡ siempre incompleto.â€¨

El lector de estas crÃ³nicas va a acompaÃ±ar trayectos tan fascinantes como familiares. Se acercara a mundos bajos de los que ya escucho hablar alguna vez. ReirÃ¡ y sufrirÃ¡ con los protagonistas de historias reales, tan reales como las de aquel amigo, aquella prima, aquel padre que se fue al Norte, pero nunca contÃ³ que pasÃ³ por allÃ¡. O la de una mujer y su amante que ven por la tele la caÃda de las Torres Gemelas mientras especulan si su esposo muriÃ³ en el ataque; o un norteamericano que se dedica a defender latinos pobres que mÃ¡s tarde lo van a traicionar.
