Renato Rosaldo's new prose poetry collection shares his experiences and those of his group of twelve Mexican American Tucson High School friends known as the Chasers as they grew up, graduated, and fell out of touch. Derived from interviews with the Chasers and three other friends conducted after their fiftieth high school reunion, Rosaldo's poems present a chorus of distinct voices and perspectives that convey the realities of Chicano life on the borderlands from the 1950s to the present.

Reviews
"The Chasers is at once a snapshot of Chicano culture in the '50s, and contemporary in its humanity." - Meredith O'Neil (Tucson Weekly)

"The Chasers is a must read."

- Margaret Randall (World Literature Today) "Rosaldo's antropoesIa is an emerging hybrid genre, a method of knowledge production that cannot be codified. It insists on highlighting nuances rather than erecting schemas. It is precise in its ability to articulate the uncategorizable." - Tara Westmor (Los Angeles Review of Books)
