The New Press & The North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) would like to invite you to celebrate the launch of:

Judith Adler Hellman’s
THE WORLD OF MEXICAN MIGRANTS
THE ROCK AND THE HARD PLACE

Wednesday, April 16th
The New Press/NACLA offices
38 Greene Street, 4th Fl., New York
6:30pm Reception / 7:00pm Discussion

Drawing on five years of in-depth interviews, Hellman offers a much-needed humanizing perspective on the millions of undocumented Mexican migrants living in the United States, people whose voices are rarely heard in the din of angry political debate and talk-radio rhetoric on immigration.

“Humane and helpful, Hellman removes the shrillness from the border debate to show what the crossers do and why they do it.” –Kirkus Reviews

Judith Adler Hellman is a professor of social and political science at York University in Canada. The author of three previous books, Mexican Lives (The New Press), Mexico in Crisis, and Journeys Among Women, she has done fieldwork in Mexico since the late 1960s. Born and raised in New York City, she lives in Toronto, Canada.

Space is limited. Please RSVP to Caitlin Graf: (212)-629-8811 or development@thenewpress.com

We encourage guests to call and reserve their spot and a copy of The World of Mexican Migrants at the reduced price of $20.00. Copies of the book will also be for sale at the event.
