ジョック・サザーランドが幼少期を過ごしたオアフ島のノースショアにある家屋は、彼に案内してもらったときには、絵に描いたような廃墟になっていた。真珠湾攻撃の後に建てられたこの家は、第二の攻撃に備えて軍が大急ぎで整備した海辺の木造兵舎のひとつだった。建物は海を包み込むような柔らかなV字型で、シンプルなデッキに面して鎧窓が並んでいる。眼下の岬の岩場に波が打ちつけている。サザーランドの母、オードリーはこの家を1961年に15,000ドル（当時の為替レートで540万円）で購入し、その後60年近く住んだ。 その家屋はわたしの目にはまだ居住可能に映ったけれど、サザーランドはもう住めないと言う。「乾燥腐敗して、錆びていて、壁はぼろぼろ。解体対象だ」 感傷的な様子は何もなかった。 「とにかく、近隣の様子を見てみろ」...

Jock Sutherland’s childhood home, on Oahu’s North Shore, was a picturesque ruin when he brought me there. It was built after the attack on Pearl Harbor: a wooden barracks at the water’s edge, part of the military’s frantic preparations for a second attack. The building had a soft V shape, as if embracing the ocean, with a line of louvred windows opening onto a basic deck. Waves pounded the rocky point below.

Saúl Armendáriz è cresciuto a ridosso di una delle frontiere più strane del mondo: El Paso, Texas, e Ciudad Juárez, Messico. È nato a El Paso ma ha sempre vissuto su entrambi i lati del confine. “Andavo a scuola negli Stati Uniti, ma il venerdì io e le mie sorelle attraversavamo di corsa il ponte che porta a Juárez”, racconta. I divertimenti e i parenti erano quasi tutti in Messico.

By William Finnegan, Illustration: João Fazenda/The New Yorker, The New Yorker, June 4, 2023You may think that child labor was abolished a century ago, at least in the United States. That was never quite true. The Fair Labor Standards Act, passed during the New Deal, outlawed “oppressive child labor” but exempted agricultural work from many of its restrictions, which, in the decades since, has left hundreds of thousands of children in the fields.
