The Man Who Could Move Clouds: A Memoir by Ingrid Rojas Contreas
Growing up in the Colombia of the 1980s and 1990s, the author’s world was laced with prophecy and violence. Her maternal grandfather was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with the ability to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. She eavesdropped on her mother's fortune-telling business and was accustomed to "letting the ghosts in." So, when Ingrid, now living in the U.S., suffered a head injury in her 20s that left her with amnesia - an accident eerily similar to a fall that had put her mother in a coma at the age of 8, from which she woke with not just amnesia, but the ability to see ghosts – the family assumes "the secrets" have finally been passed down to the next generation. But as Ingrid recovers her memories, they don't come with supernatural abilities. Rather, she is consumed by a powerful urge to learn even more about her heritage than she knew before the accident.

She introduces us to the indigenous Oaxacans who rebuilt the main street in a post-industrial town in upstate New York, the "Las Poderosas" who fight for reproductive rights in Texas, the musicians in Milwaukee whose beats reassure others of their belonging, as well as drag queens, environmental activists, farmworkers, and the migrants detained at our border. Drawing on intensive field research as well as her own personal story, Ramos chronicles how "Latinx" has given rise to a sense of collectivity and solidarity among Latinos unseen in this country for decades.
