520 People across Mexico are being forced into migration, and
while 11 percent of that country's population lives north
of the US border, the decision to migrate is rarely
voluntary. Free trade agreements and economic policies
that exacerbate and reinforce extreme wealth disparities
make it impossible for Mexicans to make a living at home.
And yet when they migrate to the United States, they must
grapple with criminalization, low wages, and exploitation.
In The Right to Stay Home, journalist David Bacon tells
the story of the growing resistance of Mexican
communities. Bacon shows how immigrant communities are
fighting back--envisioning a world in which migration
isn't forced by poverty or environmental destruction and
people are guaranteed the "right to stay home." This
richly detailed and comprehensive portrait of immigration
reveals how the interconnected web of labor, migration,
and the global economy unites farmers, migrant workers,
and union organizers across borders. In addition to
incisive reporting, eleven narratives are included, giving
readers the chance to hear the voices of activists
themselves as they reflect on their experiences, analyze
the complexities of their realities, and affirm their
vision for a better world. -- Publisher website.
