In the documentary novel All They Will Call You (2017) Tim Z. Hernandez brings to light the life stories of the Mexican migrant workers who fatally died in a plane accident as they were being deported from California to Mexico in 1948. Inspired by Woody Guthrie's song “Plane Wreck at Los Gatos Canyon” (1961), the novel interweaves testimony, documentation, historical contextualization, and fictional mechanisms to involve the reader ethically in the pursuit of an alternative truth – one that underscores the dialectical relationship between the migrants’ lives, their communities, and neocolonial US–Mexico relations. The author entwines the lives and deaths of US and Mexican citizens and gives them historical and affective significance within the “multidirectional memory” (Rothberg) of a community of mourning enacted within and beyond his narrative. His “mestizx consciousness” (Anzaldúa), a lived awareness of the power imbalances that silence the subaltern across the US–Mexico border, manifests itself through the phenomenological leitmotif of la huesera. This southwestern tale and feminine archetype explains the impulse to bring into being a “new memory” (Irizarry) of a reconstructed community around the plane wreck and to challenge the “hierarchy of grief” (Butler) that silenced the migrants’ life stories.

跨越国界的哀悼：蒂姆·Z·埃尔南德斯 (Tim Z. Hernandez) 的多向记忆他们会叫你的一切：讲述洛斯加托斯峡谷的飞机残骸

在纪实小说中他们会打电话给你(2017) Tim Z. Hernandez 揭示了墨西哥移民工人的生活故事，他们在 1948 年被从加利福尼亚驱逐到墨西哥时死于飞机事故。灵感来自伍迪·格思里 (Woody Guthrie) 的歌曲“洛斯加托斯峡谷的飞机残骸” （1961 年），这部小说将证词、文献、历史背景化和虚构机制交织在一起，让读者在道德上参与追求另一种真理——强调移民的生活、他们的社区和新殖民主义的美墨之间的辩证关系关系。作者将美国和墨西哥公民的生死纠缠在一起，并在他的叙述内外制定的哀悼社区的“多向记忆”（罗斯伯格）中赋予他们历史和情感意义。他的 ”梅斯蒂克斯意识”（Anzaldúa），一种对权力失衡的活生生的认识，这种失衡使美国和墨西哥边境的下属保持沉默，通过现象学的主题表现出来拉韦塞拉. 这个西南故事和女性原型解释了一种冲动，即在飞机失事周围重建社区的“新记忆”（Irizarry）并挑战使移民生活故事沉默的“悲伤等级”（巴特勒）。
