Title: To Sin Against Hope Life And Politics On The Borderland
Description: "Alfredo Gutierrez{u2019}s father, a U.S. citizen, was deported to Mexico from his Arizona hometown--the mining town where Alfredo grew up. This occurred during a wave of anti-immigrant hysteria stoked by the Great Depression, but as Gutierrez makes clear, in a book that is both a personal chronicle and a thought-provoking history, the war on Mexican immigrants has rarely abated. Barack Obama now presides over an immigration policy every inch the equal of Herbert Hoover{u2019}s in its harshness. His family experiences inspired Gutierrez to pursue the life of a Chicano activist"--P. [2] of cover.
