Описание:
Reveals the impossible choices and downright terror mixed-status families often face for their loved ones Living in a mixed-status immigrant family might mean that your grandmother could be deported at any moment, your son could be arrested at work, or your mother’s deportation hearing is postponed—again. Such uncertainty and fear are the reality of life for mixed-status families—those that include both undocumented immigrants and US citizens. In Contested Americans, Cassaundra Rodriguez explores how members of mixed-status families experience and articulate belonging in the United States. The sixteen million people in the US who fall under this classification share the fear of a family member’s possible deportation or the anxiety of leaving behind a child or elderly relative. Rodriguez highlights how different members of the same mixed-status families mediate undocumented statuses while maintaining the collective whole of a family. For many young adults, this may mean negotiating the sponsorship of their immigrant parents, and for the parents, planning for the emotional, physical, and financial well-being of their children in case of deportation. Contested Americans is a timely book, filled with vivid storytelling, that shows how immigration policies, racism, and privilege collide in the backdrop of the lives of millions of mixed-status families.
San Francisco native and first-time author, Cassaundra Brown, creates What if Strawberries Had No Hats?, a quick-witted, fanciful tale, which highlights childhood cancer awareness. Intended for younger school-age children, the verse is light-hearted, candid and simply educational. All readers will delight in the adventures of Strawberry and all her fruit friends as fancifully drawn by Academy of Art College graduate, June Gomez. Throughout the tale, Strawberries' friends encourage her through the trials of "losing her hat" during the course of cancer medical treatment.
According to the author, "There are many different facets to research, education, and treatment of cancer. Children who have cancer, or know others who do, desire truth and normalcy. They want to know that they are cared for, but like other children, they also want to learn, play and, of course, read "
"What serves me in writing this philanthropic endeavor is the ability to let my imagination run wild. My hope is that children find the characters relatable, and adults find leukemia and cancer topics approachable. By writing this book, there is more of intimate ownership of combating this curse. It is my personal way of being charitable. Now is a perfect time "
