Using his rigorous academic training, public policy knowledge, and community activist background, as well as his personal and familial experiences as the son of Mexican immigrants, Alvaro Huerta defends and humanizes los de abajo / those on the bottom. He skillfully re-frames how Latina/o immigrants should be viewed as productive and important members in this country, debunking the xenophobic tropes, lies, and myths about Latina/o immigrants as criminals, social burdens, and national security threats. Accompanied by the brilliant art of an internationally acclaimed artist, Salomon Huerta, and powerful photos of two established photographers, this book also investigates intersectional issues related to race, class, place, and state violence."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Latin Americans $z United States $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Latin Americans $z United States $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Emigration and immigration. 651 0 $a United States $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Huerta, Alvaro. $t Defending Latina/o immigrant communities. $d Lanham, Maryland : Hamilton Books, [2019] $z 9780761871286 $w (OCoLC)1110009646 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707013611.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFA6AC5C4F2711EB9A63D65926ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
