Transportation to Childhood— Frida Cartas

With honest and deeply moving writing, Frida recalls her childhood and the moments that shaped her gender identity. With a great sense of humor, but without sugarcoating difficult experiences, the narrator tells how she related to her family, at school, or in her neighborhood. Even when she was socially read as a boy, she always dreamed of playing the role of the carnival queen, the wife, the mother; she longed to be the homemaker, the caregiver, even though her father wanted a son who would embody the masculinity so valued in the military.

Amidst the hostility of those who condemn difference, this story is the testimony of a child who resisted violence, accompanied by a mother who helped her build her own world by validating and respecting her identity. Transporte a la infancia is a book about sexuality and dissidence, about the criminalization of poverty, but it is also a novel that suggests that the essential nature of contemporary literature comes from what history has left on the margins.
