Alfredo Gutierrez's father, a US citizen, was deported to Mexico
from his Arizona hometown - the mining town where Alfredo grew up.
This occurred during a wave of anti-immigrant hysteria stoked by
the Great Depression, but as Gutierrez makes clear, in a book that
is at once a personal chronicle and a thought-provoking history,
the war on Mexican immigrants has rarely abated. Barack Obama now
presides over an immigration policy that is the equal of Herbert
Hoover's in its harshness. His family experiences inspired
Gutierrez to pursue the life of a Chicano activist. Kicked out of
Arizona State University after leading a takeover of the
president's office, he later became the majority leader of the
Arizona State Senate. Later still, he was a successful political
consultant. He remains an activist, and in this engrossing memoir
and essay, he both dissects the racism that has animated a century
of border policy - including a record number of deportations under
Obama - and the timidity of immigrant advocacy organizations today.
