New book by David Bacon a must read!

David Bacon’s new book, Illegal People – How Globalization Creates Migration and Criminalizes Immigrants is a must read to understand many of the issues surrounding migrant workers in the United States (U.S.). Although not pointed out in the book, many readers will find that many of the same issues are similar to those currently being felt here in Canada as well.

In particular, Bacon’s new book analyzes NAFTA’s corporate tilt as a cause of displacement and migration from Mexico and shows how criminalizing immigrant labour benefits employers.

Bacon powerfully traces the development of illegal status back to slavery and shows the human cost of treating the indispensable labour of millions of migrants – and the migrants themselves – as illegal.
