Issue 13: Immigration
Winter 2007
In our thirteenth issue, TNAC explores the ways in which immigrants are changing American cities. Joel Mills, a national day labor expert, writes about the strategies cities use to deal with the “day labor phenomenon” - mostly immigrants who gather to look for work in parking lots and on busy street corners. Robert Gottlieb tells the story of an explosive standoff over an urban garden, LA’s South Central Farm, where Latinos had to be forcibly removed from a lush, and valuable, fourteen-acre plot.
