Trails of Hope and Terror : Testimonies on Immigration

De La Torre (Christian ethics, Iliff School of Theology, Denver) explores the multitude of reasons that people tear out their native roots, abandoning their family or delivering them into danger, to come to a country where they will be exploited and despised. The testimonies he presents from various parties are arranged in sections on creating borders and their consequences, economic realities, demythologizing the immigration debate, family values, the politics of fear, Christian perspectives, and ethical responses.
