DESCRIPTION:Grounds for Dreaming is a sweeping critical history of how U.S.-born and 
 immigrant Mexican communities in agricultural California fought for 
 equality and respect in a hostile climate of labor repression and 
 xenophobia. Long before the seminal labor strikes led by Cesar Chavez, 
 farmworkers wrote to newspapers, wore zoot suits, formed civil rights 
 organizations, exercised their right to vote, and filed landmark lawsuits 
 against agribusiness. Grounds for Dreaming is a history about Latinos’ 
 longstanding and complex position in America’s economy and society, and 
 the issues of comprehensive immigration reform and workers’ rights across 
 borders.\n\n“Lori Flores’s eloquent and deeply researched 
 account…[is] an unusually potent vantage point from which to assess not 
 only the forces behind much of our food production but also the making of 
 American ideas of race and community, and our capacity for reform and 
 social justice….the debut of an important new voice in American 
 history.” –Karl Jacoby, Columbia University\n\nFlores will be in 
 conversation with David Bacon, author of The Right to Stay Home which Noam 
 Chomksy describes as "Combining evocative personal narratives with 
 penetrating geopolitical analysis, this compelling book vividly reveals the 
 devastating effects on Mexico of the global class war of the past decades 
 and their impact on the United States. Perhaps the most striking demand of 
 the victims is 'the right to not migrate, ' the right to live with dignity 
 and hope, bitterly attacked under the neoliberal version of 
 globalization."\n\nAdmission is free.\n
