About this Event
Boswell Book Company presents an evening with Sergio M González, author of Sanctuary in America: How Activists Defied the Government and Defended Immigrants - And Why It Still Matters. In his latest work, González draws upon extensive archival data from across the country to tell the full story of one of the most successful resistance movements of the last fifty years, and creates a compelling story of migrant journeys, religious activism, and political showdowns. This event is cosponsored by La Revo Books, and the author will be joined in conversation by Rachel Ida Buff.
