Mon 2nd Breakout #5: DEFECTORS: THE RISE OF THE LATINO FAR RIGHT AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR AMERICA

By:

One of the more surprising turns in the electorate is the rise of far-right sentiments among Latinos, a story that author and Emmy Award-winning journalist PAOLA RAMOS tells in her fascinating and empathetic new book Defectors. The book takes us into the lives of a variety of Latinos across the country who support candidates with plans for mass deportation or efforts to stop diversity initiatives. Ramos will introduce us to many of these people and tell us what is motivating their rightward turn and how, like many of their white counterparts, they are fearful of losing their place in American society.
