Noé Álvarez's memoir, "Accordion Eulogies: A Memoir of Music, Migration, and Mexico," explores the author's personal and cultural history through the lens of the accordion. Álvarez, who grew up in Yakima, Washington, embarks on a journey to understand his estranged grandfather, who brought the family to the U.S. from Mexico and played the accordion. Through conversations with accordion players and manufacturers in various cities, Álvarez uncovers the instrument's mechanical intricacies and its connections to oppressed communities, such as Black Creoles and Indigenous peoples. Ultimately, his investigation leads him back to his ancestral corner of Mexico, where he reconnects with his ailing grandfather in a meeting that leaves him feeling unfulfilled. Álvarez's memoir emphasizes the importance of the journey itself rather than the end result. [Extracted from the article]
