Book Description

October 15, 2005

“Lydersen demonstrates that journalism still has the power to sway both hearts and minds.”—Brian Awehali, LiP Magazine

“We need solid reporting from the Spanish-speaking world, and Lyderson delivers it with grace, intelligence and a vigorous point of view.”—Scott Sherman, contributing writer, The Nation.

From the misty highlands of Chiapas or the idyllic coast of Honduras; to the harsh dry desert of the U.S.-Mexico border; to a frozen street corner in Chicago or a sweltering tomato field in Florida; these are the stories of Latin American migrants in the age of globalization.

Kari Lydersen writes for publications including The Washington Post, In These Times, Punk Planet and LiP Magazine and is a youth journalism instructor.

5.0 out of 5 stars real investigative journalism!, January 16, 2006
This review is from: Out of the Sea and Into the Fire: Latin American-U.S. Immigration in the Global Age (Paperback)
ms. lydersen looks into the real effects of "globalization." and the real people being affected most directly by it. she lets what she finds speak for itself.

she also lists web sites at the end of each chapter so the reader can continue exploring some off the issues she brings forth. definitely one of the most useful, "enjoyable," and well-written books i have come across in quite a while!

kari lydersen is helping set the stage for global understanding and true justice. this book is an important piece of history.
