RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewIn an age of brutal anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy, This Land is Our Land offers a meticulously researched and deeply felt corrective to the public narrative of who today’s migrants are, why they are coming, and what economic and historical forces have propelled them from their homes into faraway lands ... reads like an impassioned survey course on migration, laying bare the origins of mass migration in searing clarity ... The book makes a convincing argument that contemporary migration is a direct descendant of colonialism ...is, in large part, a case for reparations ... Must we read such obvious truths? Perhaps we must.
Anabel Hernandez, Trans. by John Washington
PositiveThe New York Review of Books... like a forensic report. The author has created a painstaking chronology of the events of the night, and doggedly tracks down new evidence ... Though [Hernandez\'s] account is at times scattered and confusing, her review of the evidence exposes the obfuscations of the government’s investigation ... she builds a convincing case that someone was engineering the confessions to support the government’s account ... pays tribute to the normalista movement and the victims’ families.
