However, the city is politically mixed, organizationally underserved, and situated in a relatively anti-immigrant state. This makes Houston a challenging context for immigrant rights despite its rapidly diversifying population. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eAdvancing Immigrant Rights in Houston\u003c\/i\u003e, Els de Graauw and Shannon Gleeson recount how local and multi-level contexts shape the creation, contestation, and implementation of immigrant rights policies and practices in the city. They examine the development of a city immigrant affairs office, interactions between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement officials, local public-private partnerships around federal immigration benefits, and collaborations between labor, immigrant rights, faith, and business leaders to combat wage theft. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The case study of Houston provides a bellwether for how other U.S. cities will deal with their growing immigrant populations and underscores the importance of public-private collaborations to advance immigrant rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Els de Graauw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439924392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439924396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Els de Graauw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46140917186815,"sku":"9781439924396","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a8b02f2-ecf3-444d-8d00-4c303088d683.jpg?v=1726597403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advancing-immigrant-rights-in-houston-els-de-graauw-9781439924396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
