Roberto Lovato is a journalist and a member of the San Francisco Writers Grotto. He is one of the country's leading writers and thinkers on Central American gangs, refugees, violence and other issues. His graduate degrees include a strategy-focused MBA from the University of Southern California and an MFA from Antioch University. He is a frequent contributor to the Nation magazine and the Boston Globe and his work has appeared in numerous publications including the Guardian, Der Spiegel, the Huffington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Al Jazeera, and many more.
What is Unforgetting-a coming of age story, a thriller, a slice of hemispheric history? All I can say for sure is that it's both gripping and beautiful. With the artistry of a poet and the intensity of a revolutionary, Lovato untangles the tightly knit skein of love and terror that connects El Salvador and the United States. This book is an eye-opener into a world Anglo-Americans have been taught is enemy territory. -- <strong>-Barbara Ehrenreich, author of <em>Natural Causes</em> and </strong><em><strong>Nickel and Dimed</strong></em>
