July 27, 2007 July 27 FRI, July 28 SAT: Dialogues on Immigration Two Dialogues on ImmigrationFriday July 27 in New York City Saturday July 28 in Montclair, NJ (see below for details) Join us for a participatory dialogue on immigration, with the authors of the newly released book from Monthly Review Press, "The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers," Jane Guskin and David Wilson. The dialogues aim to encourage a deeper and broader look at the realities and causes of immigration, and to discuss possible courses of action. Have you heard an anti-immigrant argument that you feel is wrong, but need the facts to contest? (For example: "Immigrants are a drain on social services.") Do you have your own fear or concern about the issue? (For example: "Are the lowest-paid US-born workers really hurt by immigration? ") Bring these arguments and concerns to the dialogue, and we'll work together to develop responses using facts, rational reasoning and personal experiences. "The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers" will be available for purchase at both events, signed by the authors, at a discounted price of $10. David Wilson and Jane Guskin have been co-editors since 1990 of Weekly News Update on the Americas, a weekly bulletin covering news from Latin America. Guskin also edits Immigration News Briefs. Both have been active for over a decade in support of the immigrant rights and workers' justice movements.

THE POLITICS OF IMMIGRATION - Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States"As the immigrant rights movement grows in size and energy, we need quick facts and deep history. This book gives us both." - Aarti Shahani, co-director, Families for Freedom"Guskin and Wilson have identified the hot-button points in the national immigration debate, and have set out to undo the stereotypes, misinformation and prejudice that paralyze rational thought on the subject. This book is a great reality check, a good teaching tool, and a powerful weapon against racism." - David Bacon, author of Communities Without Borders: Images and Voices from the World of Migration
