ON THE COVER:

"Undocumented": in search of something better. Taken from an original silkscreen by the Chicano artist Malaquias Montoya.

The idea for this print was inspired by a sudden rise of activity in the east Los Angeles barrios in the early 1980s that resulted in the daily deportation of Mexican people by the U.S. Immigratin and Naturalization Service. In many cases Mexican-American (U.S.) citizens became victims in this putsch by the INS.

The actual image comes from the artist's childhood memories--his seeing immigration officers chasing grown men over fences and through rough alleyways.
