TARGETED:  AN EVENING WITH DEEPA FERNANDES

OCTOBER 4, 2007 @7:00
Food for Thought Books @106 N.Pleasant Street, Amherst
Everyone welcome!

The United States has always portrayed itself as a country of immigrants,
welcoming each year the millions seeking a new home or refuge in this land
of plenty. Increasingly, instead of finding the American dream, many
encounter an American nightmare—a country whose culture and legal system
aggressively target and prosecute them.

Food for Thought Books, the Women of Color Leadership Network, and the
Everywoman’s Center will host award-winning journalist Deepa Fernandes on
Thursday, October 4, at 7pm, to discuss the most recent developments
around immigration policy and the way the mainstream media has treated the
subject. Fernandes’ book 'Targeted: Homeland Security and the Business of
Immigration' weaves together history, political analysis, and first-person
narratives of those caught in the grips of the brutal U.S. Homeland
Security system. Everyone is welcome!

This free event is part of an ongoing series on immigration and will take
place at Food for Thought Books, 106 North Pleasant Street, Amherst. For
