The activism of concerned librarians within the California Library Association to defend the rights of immigrant library users after the passage of Proposition 187 is documented. In addition, four original research studies suggest that public libraries that provided relevant multilingual collections and services, multilingual staff, and strong public services have remained vibrant and well-used institutions despite widespread anti-immigrant sentiments and heightened anxiety among library users. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe extensive qualitative studies that are reported in this volume are unique to the field of library science. Three of the studies focus on the heavily Mexican\/Latino immigrant city of Santa Ana, CA, which is located in Orange County, home to the most virulent anti-immigrant forces, including the Save Our State organizers who initiated the Proposition 187 legislation. Two articles deal specifically with Asian American communities, one ascertaining the negative effects of the elimination of affirmative action policies in public library hiring and promotion, the other recounting the political nature and practice that characterizes dynamic community services to Asian immigrant communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Luevano-Molina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313305242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313305245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 238","brand":"Susan Luevano-Molina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47930652426495,"sku":"9780313305245","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59cb7b23-38c0-4c6e-ab38-1b0324869e6e.jpg?v=1766343326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immigrant-politics-and-the-public-susan-luevano-molina-9780313305245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
