{"product_id":"what-side-are-you-on-michael-steven-wilson-9781469675572","title":"What Side Are You On?: A Tohono O'Odham Life Across Borders","description":"Renowned human rights activist Michael \"Mike\" Wilson has borne witness to the profound human costs of poverty, racism, border policing, and the legacies of colonialism. From a childhood in the mining town of Ajo, Arizona, Wilson's life journey led him to US military service in Central America, seminary education, and religious and human rights activism against the abuses of US immigration policies. With increased militarization of the US-Mexico border, migration across the Tohono O'odham Nation surged, as did migrant deaths and violent encounters between tribal citizens and US Border Patrol agents. When Wilson's religious and ethical commitments led him to set up water stations for migrants on the Nation's lands, it brought him into conflict not only with the US government but also with his own tribal and religious communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis richly textured and collaboratively written memoir brings Wilson's experiences to life. Joining Wilson as coauthor, Jose Antonio Lucero adds political and historical context to Wilson's personal narrative. Together they offer a highly original portrait of an O'odham life across borders that sheds light on the struggles and resilience of Native peoples across the Americas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Steven Wilson, José Antonio Lucero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469675579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469675572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Michael Steven Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491440226559,"sku":"9781469675572","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17e89248-cbd1-46c1-ba1d-0e6877499bb6.jpg?v=1699451209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-side-are-you-on-michael-steven-wilson-9781469675572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
