Description: From Border Crossings to Campaign Trail is the poignant chronicle of one of the first Latinas to run for the Nevada Senate.

With rare honesty, humor and humility, Emma offers us a personal account of her political trajectory in Reno, Nevada, from her first job as a hostess and cashier in a Mexican restaurant to her enrollment as a university student; from her first encounters with racism and sexism to her political activism within the Latino community; and from her international work in support of the Mothers of the Disappeared and Detained in Chile to her 1994 bid for the Nevada Senate on the Democratic party ticket.
