Popis:	This open letter to my brother is interimbricated with an academic exploration of narcocorridos, narrative songs lionizing his line of work, drug trafficking. I envision this document as a shield and a public engagement born out of necessity and in response to border texts that reflect and inform competing notions of masculinity, nation, history, race, and sexuality. As disidentificatory texts, narcocorridos engage in significant acts of resistance but falter in relegating joto-queer bodies into negative spaces. This project works through these negative spaces, transforming them into spaces of empowerment as the voices speak out and talk back.
