Veinticuatro cronistas participan en Sam no es mi tio, escritores, periodistas, y academicos latinoamericanos que se propusieron narrar America, las Americas. Para ellos la realidad esta compuesta por millones de historias como las suyas que conforman nuestras sociedades. Estas cronicas son los relatos de la microhistoria americana contemporanea. Donde las eternas migraciones, la violencia, las partidas y los regresos, el exito y la derrota, los cruces linguisticos y culturales, el racismo y la xenofobia cohabitan dentro de un relato que permanecera siempre incompleto. El lector de estas cronicas va a acompanar trayectos tan fascinantes como familiares. Se acercara a mundos bajos de los que ya escucho hablar alguna vez. Reira y sufrira con los protagonistas de historias reales, tan reales como las de aquel amigo, aquella prima, aquel padre que se fue al Norte, pero nunca conto que paso por alla. O la de una mujer y su amante que ven por la tele la caida de las Torres Gemelas mientras especulan si su esposo murio en el ataque; o un norteamericano que se dedica a defender latinos pobres que mas tarde lo van a traicionar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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.
