God's Heart Has No Borders: How Religious Activists Are Working for Immigration Rights
by Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo
In understanding the contributions religious activists are making to immigration rights in post- 9/11 America, USC College sociology professor Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo provides a comprehensive view of how Muslim, Christian and Jewish groups are working to counter xenophobia. Based on years of fieldwork, the book looks at Muslim Americans defending their civil liberties after 9/11; Christian activists responding to death and violence at the U.S-Mexico border; and Christian and Jewish clergy defending the labor rights of Latino immigrants. The professor examines the intersection of migration and religion, calling attention to those who have dedicated themselves to securing the human dignity of newcomers.
