The deeply reported story of identical twin brothers who escape El Salvador's violence to build new lives in California—fighting to survive, to stay, and to belong.

Growing up in rural El Salvador in the wake of the civil war, the United States was a distant fantasy to identical twins Ernesto and Raul Flores—until, at age seventeen, a deadly threat from the region’s brutal gangs forces them to flee the only home they’ve ever known. In this urgent chronicle of contemporary immigration, journalist Lauren Markham follows the Flores twins as they make their way across the Rio Grande and the Texas d

The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life by Lauren Markham Book Review

Name: E. Hoefer
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Interesting, Informative, and Thorough
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017
Review: This offers excellent and accurate insight into why people immigrate from Central America, what it takes to make it to the US, and what life is like once here. By using the true story of twin brothers, the author conveys the human realities of undocumented immigration. At the same time, she portrays the twins very honestly, not as saints but as young people who are stronger than most in many ways, but with flaws and immaturities that are common in most young people. They may take different expressions than they would in American born youth because of different and very difficult circumstances. But as I read this book, I became less judgmental about their behaviors and choices. These were kids taking on more than I have ever had to take on.
I used the word thorough in my title. The author uses data and facts very well to portray who immigrants are and to explain immigration laws, agencies, and processes. I am somewhat knowledgeable about those topics, and I was impressed. I am going to recommend the book to friends who want to learn more about the technical as well as the human aspects of immigration. She was fair and balanced in her treatment of this topic.
The book is well written. It’s is a good story that could make a good movie or series. A good read that is a learning experience as well.

Title: Great immigration narrative from a local Bay Area writer (Oakland, CA)
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022
Review: From the moment I opened this book, I read the first 7 chapters straight. As a child of an immigrant family, I never knew the struggles my family made to come to America. They never wanted to openly talk about their immigration stories to me. And having lived in America since birth, the only perspective I heard about on immigration was that of Fox News, Ronald Reagan, and other one-sided white people, to the point where I too began to believe in the lie that immigrants should go through the correct process and apply like everyone else the "right way". But the biggest lie our government tells us about that process is that it is a fair one, when it is so racially prejudiced like so much of our country today.

I think all Americans should make the time to read this book or other immigration narratives like them. We have so much in common with immigrants and we don't even know it, yet we treat these people as criminals why? because our made-up law says so? They are still people with the same struggles like you and me to survive, only they have the added stress of deportation and a possible death sentence if they return home.

So If you want to know the real reason there are caravans of El Salvadorians at our borders, pick up this book and see why for yourself. Stop paying attention to the news that only tells you immigration is a problem but doesn't bother to tell you why these people are leaving to begin with, or who caused it. (Trust me, you seriously won't like the answer... hint: it has to do with American government intervention during the cold war, which destabilized all of Central America and f*ed these people's way of life. And rightfully so, they are coming here to be taken care of, since we caused their problems to begin with! If you don't believe me, google "what caused the destabilization of El Salvador and Central America, then take the time to read up on their civil wars for yourself. I couldn't believe it when I saw it... OUR OWN government taught these people to torture, terrorize and kill in the name of stopping communism...smh! I finally understand why the rest of the world hates us. Live in Europe [not vacation in a tourist spot, but REALLY live in Europe] for a few months and you'll find out what they REALLY think of Americans and they'll tell you without asking.)

Title: Excellent insight into the lives of America's "illegal immigrants"
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017
Review: For those of us who live in comfortable surroundings in well-ordered towns such as Berkeley, the day-to-day realities of life as experienced by undocumented migrants may be impossible to understand. Most of what we know comes from news reports and occasional exposés about the efforts of the Trump Administration to expel what Right-Wing politicians have insisted we call "illegal immigrants." In The Far Away Brothers, Berkeley journalist Lauren Markham brings the lived experience of two young Salvadoran migrants and their family under a spotlight. The picture she paints is nuanced and moving as well as sobering.

Identical twins Ernesto and Raúl Flores were seventeen years of age when, separately, they crossed the Rio Grande into Texas with the help of coyotes. Though in so many ways their experience is unique, they also stand in for the tens of thousands of young Central Americans who flooded across our southern borders earlier in this decade—and for many of the millions of Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Guatemalans who now reside in the United States. Nearly all recent refugees from Central America were driven north by the gang violence and official corruption that are now endemic in the region. However, as Markham makes clear, economic motives also loomed large. Abject poverty conjures up visions of prosperity in "El Norte" among many Central Americans, as it does in many other people around the world.

As I read about the often horrific circumstances that confronted the Flores brothers over the three-year span described in the book, I couldn't help but think about the sharply contrasting experience of my father's parents, who emigrated from Russia early in the 20th century. Their lives in the shtetl where they had lived, plagued by repeated pogroms, were at least as difficult as those of the Flores twins in El Salvador. Also, it was no easy feat for them to make their way through the vastness of the European continent and then across the Atlantic in steerage. But the welcome they received at Ellis Island, though decidedly chilly, was in no way comparable to the repeated violence and official hostility that met the Flores brothers both on their way and after their arrival.

As the author makes clear, the massive migration of young Central Americans to the United States is, in a large sense, the consequence of US policy in the region throughout the 20th century, but especially in the 1980s. In El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala alike, our government actively supported local efforts to stamp out local insurgents in the name of anti-Communism—murdering tens of thousands of peasants in the process. Large numbers of young men fled to the US to escape that violence. Many succumbed to the lure of crime and were imprisoned in California. There, in prison and on the streets of Los Angeles, the most violent gangs that victimize Central America today were formed (Mara Salvatrucha, or MS13, and Barrio 18). Today, these gangs are enormous, multinational criminal enterprises. They're responsible for an outsized body count in our cities and a major share of drug trafficking in the US today. In a real sense, then, we're paying the price of our government's intervention in Central America in the last century. And so are tens of thousands of migrants from the region.

The Far Away Brothers is Lauren Markham's first book, but the Berkeley author and journalist has been writing fiction, essays, and journalism for several years. The book is based in part on her work at Oakland International High School since 2011, where the Flores brothers attended classes on and off, and more generally on her "thirteen years of experience working with, interviewing, and reporting alongside thousands of refugees and migrants like the Flores twins."

After reading The Far Away Brothers it's difficult to see how today's "illegal immigrants" are in any substantive way different from the Irish, Chinese, Italians, and Jews who made their way into the US in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
