    Texas Public Radio's Norma Martinez: Troncoso said despite the challenges, living between borders and cultures can create a sense of empowerment. “What I am saying to people in this anthology, and in my work, is that this hybridity gives you power,” he said. “It gives you power to question both sides. It gives you the power to create something new.”
