His Panic

A rare, unflinching look at one of today's most important issuesfrom one of todays 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.Rivera, Geraldo is the author of 'His Panic', published 2008 under ISBN 9780451224149 and ISBN 0451224140.
