Book Reviews of His Panic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in the U.S.
Book Review: This is a solidly written book that does leave out some crucial details.
Summary: 4 Stars
I would like to weigh in on this discussion because I find the book that Mr. Rivera has put out highly informative as well as provocative. Our nation is facing a new set of challenges as we progress deeper in to the new century. Many Americans are ridiculously absent from our nation's political debates. The failures of the Republican party are being glanced over by sycophants such as Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and countless others. In order to cover up the sheer criminality of the last 8 years of incompetence they have spun the narrative of the vicious illegal alien who is here to rape and pillage. Mr. Rivera I believe is merely attempting to remove some of the unnecessary harshness that is being thrown on to a mostly hardworking, kind people. Is he as thorough as one could be on the subject? No, but you try and write a 272 pg. book and cover all the sides as graciously as he did. As far as some of the generalizations that are being made I would like to remind most of you that your forefathers emigrated here illegally as well. Back before information could be tracked and most people were born out of hospital a person could just cross our border from any place and set up residence. There was absolutely no way to verify a person (who for the exception of the Asians were usually ethnic whites)citizenship status and as such the issue was never pursued. There are many cuases and once you take on Mr. Rivera's perspective you can see that the true culprit is free trade and greedy corporations, not merely the immigrants themselves. I think that some of you should be ashamed by your behavior on this site. If you want to copy and paste something, why not copy and paste all 40+ pages of my master's thesis (which I paid for myself!!!). As an American of Dominican descent I served my nation's military with pride (in order for you to exercise the right to trash my family's culture and traditions)something that some of you may not understand.
Summary of His Panic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in the U.S.
A rare, unflinching look at one of today's most important issues-from one of today's most well-known journalists.In this insightful, well-researched book, Peabody and Emmy? Award-winning journalist Geraldo Rivera examines the growth of the Hispanic population in the U.S., fueled partly by what may be the single most divisive issue in America today: illegal immigration. With objective clarity and personal conviction, Rivera sheds light on an issue that is muddled with confusion and prejudice -and too often blamed for everything from terrorism to welfare.
Examining the past-his own parents' struggle to be "real" Americans, as well as the plight of other ethnic groups in their quest for that dream-Rivera places the issue of illegal immigration in a historic context, dispelling the myth that we are facing an unprecedented crisis.
A vital contribution to the ongoing debate about immigration, His Panic is destined to reshape the way Americans view the future of our country.
