Hunting Season: Immigration and Murder in an All-American Town by Mirta Ojito
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.7MB
Overview: The true story of an immigrant’s murder that turned a quaint village on the Long Island shore into ground zero in the war on immigration
In November of 2008, Marcelo Lucero, a thirty-seven-year-old undocumented Ecuadorean immigrant, was brutally attacked and murdered by a group of teenagers as he walked the streets of Patchogue, a quiet Long Island town. The teenaged attackers were out “hunting for beaners,” their slur for Latinos, and Lucero was to become another victim of the anti-immigration fever spreading in the United States. But in death, Lucero’s name became a symbol of everything that was wrong with our broken immigration system: porous borders, lax law enforcement, and the rise of bigotry. With a strong commitment to telling all sides of the story, journalist Mirta Ojito unravels the engrossing narrative with objectivity and insight, providing an invaluable peephole into one of American’s most pressing issues.
