Preceding the End of the World, even though fictional, explores the experiences of the crossings and translations people make in their minds and language as they move from one country to another, especially when there’s no going back; in particular, the journey from the Mexican border to the United States.

Embarking on the lonely journey is the protagonist, Makina, a young woman who knows only too well how to survive in a violent, machismo or macho world.

Leaving behind her life in Mexico to search for her brother, she is smuggled into the USA carrying a pair of secret messages – one from her mother and one from the Mexican underworld. Herrera demonstrates through the characters and the many mountains that they have to climb getting from the Mexican border into the USA (figuratively), the struggle that many immigrants face trying to flee to America.
