D Esperanza was just thirteen years old when he lost his caregivers, his beloved grandmother and uncle. Since both of his parents were working and living in the United States, D was left on his own in a small town in Honduras. He quickly realized he simply could not make enough money to survive so he made the difficult decision to head north with his cousins and hopefully reunite with his parents in el norte. Together, the boys struggled to survive a long and treacherous journey through Central America and Mexico.

In 1889, while upholding Chinese exclusion, Supreme Court Justice Stephen J. Field characterized them as “strangers in the land.” Only in 1965 did America’s gates swing open to people like Luo’s parents, immigrants from Taiwan. Today there are more than twenty-two million people of Asian descent in the United States and yet the “stranger” label, Luo writes, remains. Drawing on archives from across the country and written with a New Yorker writer’s style and sweep, Strangers in the Land is revelatory and unforgettable, an essential American story.

Hard Neighbors follows the people who came to be known as Scotch-Irish and traces their relations with Native Americans, examines their experiences as marginalized people, and demonstrates their roles as protective and disruptive forces on the edge of colonialism. The Scotch-Irish fought Indian wars and shaped the frontier, and their experiences living near and fighting against Indians shaped their identity and their attitudes towards government. They influenced national attitudes and policies, and they transformed Indian people into racial others as they transformed themselves into Americans.

Unintended Consequences reveals how America’s door closed on legal Irish immigration in the 1960s, and how America’s Irish mounted a counterattack when nation-changing political forces were sweeping the country during the era of civil rights, political assassinations, and the Vietnam War. This book looks at the full historical background to Irish migration across the Atlantic, how it helped shape the young republic, and how the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 brought a near total halt to this westward flow. Nevertheless, the Irish would not be denied and continued to make the ...

In Sanctuary Nation, TD Barnes chronicles the explosive rise of sanctuary cities and states, where local officials openly defied federal immigration law. From sanctuary policies shielding criminal aliens to legal battles with Washington, Barnes reveals how the sanctuary movement fractured national unity, endangered public safety, and tested the limits of constitutional authority. This book offers a stark warning: when states and cities ignore the rule of law for political gain, the very fabric of the nation begins to tear.

In Border Nation, Leah Cowan shows how borders are violent, oppressive, and must be resisted.

Esta frase resume la mezcla de estallido sensorial y derrumbe psicológico que desbordó al periodista Abraham Jiménez Enoa después de exiliarse en 2022 en Barcelona. Todo era confuso, acelerado, de una voluptuosidad material demente («Bienvenido, aquí se satisface el síndrome de la compulsión», leyó a la entrada de una tienda) y, además, el racismo estructural que había conocido en la isla se transformaba ahora en una xenofobia explícita y hostil de miradas, insultos y desconfianzas.
