- Summary:
- Advancing Immigrant Rights in Houston by Els de Graauw and Shannon Gleeson examines the complex political dynamics and coalitions that have contributed to the progress of immigrant rights in Houston, a major gateway city in the United States. The book provides an in-depth analysis of local immigration politics, highlighting the diverse and sometimes unusual alliances among government and non-governmental actors. It explores how these groups have negotiated to advance immigrant rights in a politically challenging environment. The authors offer a roadmap for other cities facing similar demographic changes and political challenges.
