A timely and accessible guide which debunks the 21 biggest myths and stereotypes in today's heated immigration debate, written by one of the leading and longest-running human rights activists. Claims that immigrants take jobs away from nationals, are a drain on the economy, contribute to poverty and inequality and destroy the social fabric of a country are openly discussed and debated at all levels of society. Chomsky dismantles the most common assumptions and misconceptions, challenging untruths in a clear and straightforward argument.
Aviva Chomsky is professor of history and coordinator of Latin American Studies at Salem State College. The author of several books, Chomsky has been active in Latin American solidarity and immigrants' rights issues for over twenty-five years. She lives in Salem, Massachusetts.
