Inhalt:
In a cultural history of the immigration issue in the United States since 1965, Chavez gathers and analyzes over seventy cover images from politically diverse magazines, including Time, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, Business Week, The New Republic, The Nation, and American Heritage. He traces the connections between the social, legal, and economic conditions surrounding immigration and the diverse images through which it is portrayed. Chavez suggests that media images not only reflect the national mood but also play a powerful role in shaping national discourse. From publisher description
