Description

Immigration has been a contested issue for decades. This distinctive volume of essays on Southern Californian immigration is inspired by Michael Burawoy’s call for academic consideration to be more open and accessible to people in what he calls “public sociology.” The essays in Scholars and Southern Californian Immigrants in Dialogue: New Conversations in Public Sociology bridge the gap between scholars and undocumented persons themselves in an interdisciplinary and vibrant dialogue. The conversations include sociologists, lawyers, and community and religious leaders, alongside first-hand stories of immigrant survival in hostile and exploitive environments. This volume serves as a model for genuine public engagement of the immigration battle.

Reviews

  • The authors combine cutting edge scholarship with the compassion and ethics of religious leaders and activists, and the lived experiences of members of the undocumented community. The result is a book that matters. Scholars and Southern Californian Immigrants in Dialogue is a must read for policy makers, students, and those struggling to fashion a politics of inclusion.
