Mobilizing Public Sociology, coedited by Victoria Carty and Rafael Luevano, combines theory and scholarly perspectives with a grassroots approach to challenges that Latin immigrants face in the United States. Public sociology calls for scholars and community activists and practitioners to engage in dialogue and to work together in the struggle for social justice. The contributors to this collection - scholars, immigrants, practitioners, and community activists - share their scholarly perspectives and personal experiences on a wide range of issues related to immigration.
