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 Hill*
This 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 Marcos*
By 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 California*
In their just released volume, Otto Santa Ana and Celeste González
de Bustamante, coeditors of Arizona Firestorm, assembled top
scholars in the fields of globalization, economics, immigration
law, ethnic studies, education, and news media. The scholars cover
critical aspects of Arizona's antiimmigrant politics that the media
didn't. They explain the factors that compel immigrants to leave
their homelands; they lay out the historical context behind
Arizona's political acts, and consequences of these actions; and
they describe the media's role in shaping national opinion about
the subject…Juan González, Democracy Now radio co-host, writes that
Arizona Firestorm is ‘timely and remarkable’ and that its ‘most
important contribution could well be its examination of how news
media…have failed to provide ordinary Americans… adequate facts and
context to understand this enormous movement of peoples between the
two countries.’
*The San Fernando Valley Sun*
Reading Arizona Firestorm: Global Immigration Realities, National
Media, and Provincial Politics, a scholarly compendium that
explores in depth the fears, anxieties, myths and lies that
resulted in SB 1070, Proposition 200 (the 2004 voter-ID law), the
fight to kill ethnic studies in Tucson and the general
anti-immigrant, racist atmosphere that still prevails in Jan
Brewer's Arizona, I was struck by one essential truth: They can't
win…. Arizona Firestorm is an essential book for our times. I'd
suggest that it should be read in our public schools…
*Tuscon Weekly*
The editors have brought together pieces by different authors into
a coherent whole that sheds light on the political context that
gave rise to SB 1070 and other repressive legislation in Arizona
and in other states. Overall, the book informs interested readers
on the critical dimensions of the migration of families and workers
from south of the border to this country. The editors emphasize the
logic of global capitalism as a key feature behind global
migration. Overall, this is an outstanding volume on one of the
most important challenges facing the nation today.
