Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir

Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir was published in 2018 by One World:[32] Random House.[33] Reviewed as "a gracefully written and nuanced memoir"[34] in The Washington Post, the book is an exploration of borders, Guerrero's father, and Guerrero's own sense of self. The book is divided into seven segments corresponding to parts of the K'iche' Maya creation story in the Popul Vuh.[35]

Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda

Hatemonger was published by William Morrow: HarperCollins in 2020. "An unsparing portrait of the young architect of Trumpian nationalism," per Kirkus Reviews, "carefully documented and persuasive. A readable study in the banality of evil, even if it comes clothed in bespoke suits." Author Francisco Cantú reviewed Hatemonger as "A vital book for understanding the still-unfolding nightmare of nationalism and racism in the 21st century."[36]

Personal life

Guerrero lives in Los Angeles, California. Her mother is a physician, and her sister Michelle Ruby is a painter and muralist.[37] [38]
