Targeted:Homeland Security and the Business of Immigration/An Evening with Deepa Fernandes
The United States has always portrayed itself as a country of immigrants, welcoming each year the millions seeking a new home or refuge in this land of plenty. Increasingly, instead of finding the American dream, many encounter an American nightmare—a country whose culture and legal system aggressively target and prosecute them.
Food for Thought Books, the Women of Color Leadership Network, and the Everywoman’s Center will host award-winning journalist Deepa Fernandes to discuss the most recent developments around immigration policy and the way the mainstream media has treated the subject. Fernandes’ book Targeted: Homeland Security and the Business of Immigration weaves together history, political analysis, and first-person narratives of those caught in the grips of the brutal U.S. Homeland Security system.
Everyone is welcome! This free event is part of an ongoing series on immigration and will take place at Food for Thought Books, 106 North Pleasant Street, Amherst.
Everyone welcome!
