Picadero not only documents the tradition of Old Havanan colombofilia, pigeon racing; the relationship between Carlos and Erislandy, who he visited multiple times and viewed as a father figure; and even more so his state of mind at a moment of impasse.
This colorful book is accompanied by a poem by Chicana scholar Aída Hurtado, designed by Studio Lin, and edited by Martha Naranjo Sandoval.

Her book Intersectional Chicana Feminisms traces the origins of Chicanas’ efforts to bring attention to the effects of gender in Chicana and Chicano studies.
