  • Voting Rights Under Fire: The Continuing Struggle for People of Color

    Praeger

    Highlights the racial dimensions tied to the historical development of voting rights in the United States. Illustrates how contemporary legal and political debates over voting rights are connected to the goal of minimizing or suppressing African American and Latino voters Presents the way voting rights continues to retrogress at the hands of lawmakers Demonstrates the increasing salience that race plays within public policy, especially pertaining to political power. Following exhaustive legal research, obtaining and analyzing state level data sets, reviewing past Congressional hearings, records, court decisions along with current political trends and debates, I am extremely confident when saying, "widespread voter fraud is a myth," and indeed is retrogressive.

  • When Race and Policy Collide: Contemporary Immigration Debates

    Praeger

    Immigration reform policies continue to influence domains like housing ordinances, official language laws, mass deportation, and bilingual education, amongst many other topics. In this work, authors Donathan Brown and Amardo Rodriguez demonstrate how immigration policies belie simplistic conversations pertaining to border control. Their focus is on actual policy as opposed to mere headlines and "talking points," as it is policy and the debates they produce that inform the headlines and subsequently incite controversy and heated arguments. Each chapter of the book addresses both policy and the fallout they produce to clearly articulate how such policies usurp fact with fiction, producing residual messages that equate "diversity" with destroying our social and political order. This accessible book provides high school, college, and graduate-level students insight into the laws and lawsuits stemming from current legislation, an understanding of the peculiar racial dimensions intertwined in these policies and debates, as well as comprehension of immigration reform against the grander backdrop of the growing Latino demographic in the United States. The authors argue that the varying degrees of immigration reform passed by state legislatures throughout the country are based on thinking that ignores the sociopolitical and cultural realities of modern-day America, and continue to rely less on facts and more on fear, causing greater deep-seated paranoia, distrust, and resentment within our nation.
