Anzaldúa and illustrated by Consuelo Méndez Castillo. Loosely based on Anzaldúa's early life in South Texas, Friends from the Other Side/ Amigos del Otro Lado tells the story of a young Chicana girl, Prietita, living near the US-Mexican border who befriends and helps a young Mexican boy, Joaquín, who has recently immigrated.A book of the Latino Children's Literature genre, one book review says: "...this is an important book for libraries in border states as it touches on timely and sensitive issues."Friends from the Other Side/ Amigos del Otro Lado is a bilingual book. Written in both English and Chicano Spanish which is spoken by many Mexican American people, the book Friends from the Other Side/ Amigos del Otro Lado is a cultural representation of life on the border and immigration issues.In Friends from the Other Side/ Amigos del Otro Lado, Anzaldúa has tackled several issues which to some may be controversial. In portraying the poverty that Joaquín and his mother experience, Anzaldúa shows a painful and often ignored issue. In creating the protagonist of the book as a courageous, strong, young Latina girl, Anzaldúa challenges the dominant stereotypes often imposed on Latinas as a result of the colonial/modern gender system. In one section of the book, Prietita takes a stand against some other children who are bullying Joaquían because he is different. Author Francis Ann Day writes of Prietita's character: "By Prietita's example, the reader learns how to resist peer pressure and take a stand against prejudice and cruelty." In the end of the book, Prietita is invited to apprentice with the local herbalist plays an important role in Mexican American communities and in the book.".
