1. Apr. 3: Diálogo en Alto Manhattan; Dialogue in Upper Manhattan
El 3 de abril, Jane Guskin, co-autora de un libro sobre inmigración, estará en la librería Calíope en el Alto Manhattan para facilitar un diálogo en español con respecto a este tema controvertido. El evento será gratis y abierto al público.
Guskin escribió, con David L. Wilson, The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers (La Politica de Inmigración: Preguntas y Respuestas, publicado en julio 2007 por Monthly Review Press), una guía práctica que responde a preguntas comunes sobre la inmigración con datos y argumentos claros. Sirve de herramienta para la gente que quieran entender mejor el tema y también para los activistas que buscan ser más eficaces en sus respuestas a las actitudes anti-inmigrantes.
Los autores, radicados en la ciudad de Nueva York, han desarrollado un modelo de diálogo basado en el formato del libro que busca animar a las y los participantes a exponer sus preguntas e inquietudes sobre la inmigración, compartir sus experiencias e ideas, y juntos buscar respuestas.
Guskin redacta Immigration News Briefs, un resumen semanal de noticias sobre inmigración. En 1997 Guskin y Wilson ayudaron a fundar la Coalición para los Derechos Humanos de los Inmigrantes, que se movilizó en contra de las redadas de inmigración en los sitios de trabajo. Desde abril 2002 hasta abril 2004, los ahora autores trabajaron para liberar a su colega y amigo, Farouk Abdel-Muhti, de la carcel de inmigración.
En este momento el libro está disponsible solo en inglés, pero la editorial se encuentra explorando sus opciones para que se saque muy pronto una edicion en español. Para mas información sobre el libro y una lista de otros materiales pro-derechos de los inmigrantes, vea el sitio web de los autores al http://thepoliticsofimmigration.org/.

On April 3, 2008, Jane Guskin, co-author of a book on immigration, will be at the Calíope bookstore in Upper Manhattan to facilitate a dialogue in Spanish on this controversial subject. The event will be free and open to the public.
Guskin wrote, with David L. Wilson, The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers (published in July 2007 by Monthly Review Press), a practical guide that responds to common questions about immigration with clear facts and arguments. It serves as a tool both for people who seek a better understanding of the issue and for activists who want to be more effective in their responses to anti-immigrant attitudes.
The authors, based in New York City, have developed a dialogue model based on the format of the book which seeks to encourage participants to put forward their questions and concerns about immigration, share their experiences and ideas, and work together to form responses.
Guskin edits Immigration News Briefs, a weekly bulletin covering immigration-related news. In 1997 Guskin and Wilson helped found the Coalition for the Human Rights of Immigrants, which mobilized against workplace raids. From April 2002 to April 2004, the authors worked to free their colleague and friend, Farouk Abdel-Muhti, from immigration detention.
At the moment the book is only available in English, but the publisher is currently exploring options toward release of a Spanish edition soon. For more information about the book and a list of other immigrant rights materials, see the authors' website at http://thepoliticsofimmigration.org/.
