Review Quotes:
"The immigrant workforce is both victimized as the most precarious element of the low-wage workforce and scapegoated by nativist and anti-immigrant elements as the cause of low wages and terrible working conditions. Through several case studies examining immigrant worker organizing in the United States and Europe, Mobilizing against Inequality provides vital insights into the importance of organizing the immigrant workforce and fully integrating immigrants into the general society as the best way to protect and improve wages and working conditions across the board. These insights can inform the debate in the United States at a time when immigration policy is under close examination and change is on the horizon."
