A collection of short essays and stories, Defending Latina/o
Immigrant Communities: The Xenophobic Era of Trump and Beyond
focuses on one of the most vilified, demonized, and scapegoated
groups in the United States: Latina/o immigrants. Using his
rigorous academic training, public policy knowledge, and community
activist background, as well as his personal and familial
experiences as the son of Mexican immigrants, Alvaro Huerta defends
and humanizes los de abajo / those on the bottom. He skillfully
re-frames how Latina/o immigrants should be viewed as productive
and important members in this country, debunking the xenophobic
tropes, lies, and myths about Latina/o immigrants as criminals,
social burdens, and national security threats. Accompanied by the
brilliant art of an internationally acclaimed artist, Salomon
Huerta, and powerful photos of two established photographers, this
book also investigates intersectional issues related to race,
class, place, and state violence.
