Feel Free Read Reframing the Latino Immigration Debate: Towards a Humanistic Paradigm RTF
Brash, intelligent, and possessed of a searing rhetorical passion, Alvaro Huerta’s Reframing the Latino Immigration Debate asks readers to reassess critical political and cultural issues unfolding along the U.S./Mexico border. Paired in this volume with the striking photography of Antonio Turok, Huerta’s words move readers “towards a humanistic paradigm” in a work that emerges as must-reading for students, scholars, and policy-makers alike.“Alvaro Huerta provides a ground-up view of the most pressing issues facing our nation of immigrants. Drawing on personal and familial experience, and a scholar's understanding of social history and current political dynamics, Huerta offers a human face to issues that have been overwhelmed with heated rhetoric and special interests.”CHON A. NORIEGA Director and Professor | UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center | Author of Shot in America“I urge you to read this impassioned defense of immigrants in the United States. Powerful and poignantly personal, Huerta’s book humanizes an issue that is so often distorted by opportunistic politicians and crass pundits. He spares neither the Republicans nor President Obama in his critiques, and he makes an irrefutable case for amnesty. Pay attention to Alvaro Huerta: his words pack a punch.”MATTHEW ROTHSCHILD Editor, The Progressive | Author of You Have No Rights“Dr. Alvaro Huerta provides a compelling antidote to the anti-Latino rhetoric so prevalent in recent decades. His is a personal response to seemingly impersonal policies of detention, stigmatization, and undermining of Latino citizenship and belonging. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the ‘other side’ of the story about immigrants and their children in our society.”LEO R. CHAVEZ Professor, University of California, Irvine | Author of The Latino Threat
