From Alaska to Florida, millions of immigrants and their supporters
took to the streets across the United States to rally for immigrant
rights in the spring of 2006. The scope and size of their protests,
rallies, and boycotts made these the most significant events of
political activism in the United States since the 1960s. This
accessibly written volume offers the first comprehensive analysis
of this historic moment. Perfect for students and general readers,
its essays, written by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and
grassroots organizers, trace the evolution and legacy of the 2006
protest movement in engaging, theoretically informed discussions.
The contributors cover topics including unions, churches, the
media, immigrant organizations, and immigrant politics. Today, one
in eight U.S. residents was born outside the country, but for many,
lack of citizenship makes political voice through the ballot box
impossible. This book helps us better understand how immigrants are
making their voices heard in other ways.
