"Corchado's casual, friendly prose flies under the raging policy debates of the moment to engage us in incredibly personal stories of friendship and family. Before you realize it, he has defeated your cynicism and disarmed your political reflexes to bring you into a lively conversation on the nature of citizenship and culture in the most human of terms. Homelands helps us to see ourselves in each other, and in so doing it gets at the genius of a country that has always aspired to be one out of many."
Beto O'Rourke

"In 'Homelands' Corchado tells two stories at once - that of his life as a bicultural, naturalized American reporter and the larger saga of a migration surge that occurred at the same time...his book explains broad trends with engaging ease."
Washington Post

"In Homelands [Corchado] recounts his experiences and those of three friends - altogether, three Mexicans and an American of Mexican descent - as they grapple with having two countries to call home...It eloquently chronicles the effects of the North American Free-Trade Agreement between Mexico, America and Canada, the militarisation of the border after the attacks of September 11th 2001 and Mr Trump's victory."
The Economist

"In addition to providing historical context for the current debate on immigration, this book is a timely and personal meditation on the concept of 'migrant' in the United States."
Publishers Weekly

"Vividly and entertainingly rendered...Homelands performs a valuable service. Politics, after all, isn't the only way that a disenfranchised and vilified community can counteract the stereotypes, misunderstandings, and even stupidities imposed by others. It can also do so if its expatriate sons and daughters, who have traveled far and succeeded, despite the odds, return to help. These voices, like Corchado's, will make the voyage easier for those who will surely follow."
