Countering the chorus of anti-immigrant voices that have grown increasingly loud in the current political moment, No One is Illegal exposes the racism of anti-immigration vigilantes and puts a human face on the immigrants who risk their lives to cross the border to work in the United States.
This second edition has a new introduction to frame the analysis of the struggle for immigrant rights and the roots of the backlash.
A Spanish edition of the book is also available.
Justin Akers Chacón is the author of the forthcoming Radicals in the Barrio: Magonistas, Socialists, Wobblies, and Communists in the Mexican American Working Class.
Mike Davis is the author many books, including The Ecology of Fear and Planet of Slums.
