DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with David Bacon, author of the new book Illegal 
 People: How Globalization Creates Migration and Criminalizes Immigrants. In 
 Illegal People, Bacon explores the human side of globalization, exposing 
 the many ways it uproots people in Latin America and Asia, driving them to 
 migrate. At the same time, U.S. immigration policy makes the labor of those 
 displaced people a crime in the United States. Through interviews and 
 on-the-spot reporting from both impoverished communities abroad and 
 American immigrant workplaces and neighborhoods, Bacon shows how the United 
 States' trade and economic policies abroad, in seeking to create a 
 favorable investment climate for large corporations, create conditions to 
 displace communities and set migration into motion. In the U.S. and other 
 developed countries, immigration raids and guest worker programs reinforce 
 inequality, low wages and lack of rights for migrants.\n\nDavid Bacon is an 
 award-winning labor journalist, photographer, immigrant-rights activist and 
 former labor organizer.\n\nSponsored by the UC Berkeley Labor Center, Black 
 Alliance for Just Immigration, East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, 
 Oakland Institute, UC Berkeley Center for Latin American Studies and the 
 Worker Immigrant Rights Coalition.\n
