At once narrative and reflective, Loving Immigrants in America: An
Experiential Philosophy of Personal Interaction is a philosophical
account of Daniel Campos's experience as a Latin American immigrant
to the United States of America. A series of interrelated personal
essays together convey this experience of walking or sauntering,
going on road trips, reading American literature in the southern
United States, playing association football (soccer or futbol),
churchgoing, and Latin dancing in the U.S. This book's central
motif is the caring saunterer, who is understood to be a person who
makes him or herself at home anywhere, even as a Latino immigrant
in the U.S. The narrative essays convey one immigrant's experience
seeking an affective, social, and intellectual home in a new land.
The intertwined philosophical reflections lead to the
recommendation of an ethic of love-resilient love-for the
day-to-day interactions and long-term relations between immigrants
and hosts in this country. The author's aim is to establish an open
and earnest philosophical dialogue with critical readers interested
in the problems surrounding immigration in the U.S. today. He
writes as an American philosopher-in the continental sense of
North, Central, and South America-whose reflections provide an
accessible and provocative angle for the development of insight
into the experiences of immigrants in the United States. Thus he
brings philosophical reflection drawn from experience, in the broad
American tradition, to bear on current issues-on the problems of
people and not of philosophers, as John Dewey might put it.
