Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30330 ratings)

Description:In 2010, the governor of Arizona signed a controversial immigration bill (SB 1070) that led to a news media frenzy, copycat bills in twenty-two states, and a U.S. Supreme Court battle that put Arizona at the cross-hairs of the immigration debate. Arizona Firestorm brings together well-respected experts from across the political spectrum to examine and contextualize the political, economic, historical, and legal issues prompted by this and other anti-Latino and anti-immigrant legislation and state actions. It also addresses the news media’s role in shaping immigration discourse in Arizona and around the globe. Arizona is a case study of the roots and impact of the 21st century immigration challenge. Arizona Firestorm will be of interest to scholars and students in communication, public policy, state politics, federalism, and anyone interested in immigration policy or Latino politics.A book on the recent legislative measures in Arizona may seem parochial, but in fact, this timely anthology is essential reading for understanding the national and global politics of labor migration. Working through the intricacies of Latin American immigration to Arizona, the authors illuminate the hyperlocal effects of globalization. They argue compellingly that the media and the racialization of immigrants have contributed to the polarization of immigration debates.— Lucila Vargas, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillThis timely, well-documented and edifying book should itself serve as a firestorm, provoking numerous discussions that enlighten understanding of the causes and consequences of ill-conceived immigration policies. The authors provide superb in-depth analyses of the history and contexts that led to Arizona Senate Bill 1070, including the racially charged manipulations of public sentiments, opinions and votes. Of particular value is the presentation of how different media—general market and Latino-oriented—offered divergent news and interpretations of the new law and its detrimental effects on Arizona. Arizona Firestorm is a must read for scholars, students, but most importantly for anyone involved in developing immigration policies. — Federico Subervi, Center for the Study of Latino Media & Markets, Texas State University, San MarcosBy linking today's news with Arizona's history and analysis this book shows how the important border, immigration and education firestorms now sweeping the state and beyond have been smoldering for years. Too often these issues have been overlooked or misrepresented by scholars or reporters trying to explain the state, which makes this book a "must read."— Félix Gutiérrez, University of Southern CaliforniaWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
