{"product_id":"dreamland-the-way-out-of-juarez","title":"Dreamland: The Way Out of Juarez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA haunting collaboration between writer Charles Bowden and artist Alice Leora Briggs (2025 Scult Family Artist Award recipient, Phoenix Art Museum), this graphic journalism work combines unpublished creative nonfiction with striking scratchboard drawings to illuminate life in Juárez, Mexico. Winner of the Southwest Book Award from the Border Regional Library Association, the book transcends traditional reporting to capture the surreal reality of a society fractured by drug cartel power and institutional collapse. Bowden's poetic yet unflinching prose pairs with Briggs's Renaissance-inspired, deeply unsettling imagery to document daily atrocities that governments and citizens alike refuse to acknowledge. With the visual language of a graphic novel, the aesthetic of an illuminated manuscript, and the raw urgency of a police report, Dreamland reveals the brutal courage and hidden commerce that define the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover | 174 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45264543940717,"sku":"045003","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3794\/files\/Untitled_design_-_2026-06-11T104956.037.png?v=1781200214","url":"https:\/\/phoenix-art-museum-store.myshopify.com\/products\/dreamland-the-way-out-of-juarez","provider":"Phoenix Art Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
