Immigration, Policy and the People of Latin America: Seven Sending Nations: Latin American Tópicos
Autor Bryce W. Ashby, Michael J. LaRosaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 2024
Combining the disciplines of history and law, the authors explore the economic and historical challenges present in each nation that force "out" migration, including corruption, historical exploitation, racism, unequal/unfair trade arrangements, and the oftentimes unilateral, exploitative operations of multinational corporations. Readers will learn about the contemporary socio/political and economic realities of the seven sending nations and understand the complexity of immigration laws (as passed by the Congress), executive actions taken by individual presidents in the United States, and some state initiatives. They will hear the voices of immigrants themselves, as well as those who have stayed behind or been deported from the United States back to their home nations.
This book will be of interest to students of Latin American history, as well as US history and politics.

"Immigration, Policy and the People of Latin America: Seven Sending Nations" is a testament to Bryce W. Ashby and Michael J. LaRosa's unwavering dedication to scholarship and advocacy. With heartfelt insights and meticulous research, they illuminate the complexities of immigration from Latin America to the United States. As the former Executive Director of Latino Memphis, Inc., I commend their efforts in amplifying marginalized voices and challenging conventional narratives. This book is not just timely—it's essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of immigration issues.
José Velázquez, Former Executive Director, Latino Memphis, Inc.
"This book expertly captures the complex 'push' factors that drive immigration in much of the Americas, and brilliantly places them in their unique historical and political context by using a comparative, country-by-country approach. To contextualize these forces further, Ashby and LaRosa have focused—refreshingly—on the lives and journeys of individual immigrants. Lifting up this human dimension is essential for a full comprehension of the phenomena of migration and opens our hearts to the impacts these forces have on individuals, families, and communities."
