| Publisher Description: "Hay veces en que me siento como un extra o en el pa s donde he pasado m s de la mitad de mi vida. No es por falta de oportunidades, ni una queja. Es, m s bien, una especie de desilusi n. Jam s me imagin que despu s de 35 a os en Estados Unidos iba a seguir siendo un stranger para muchos. Pero eso soy." Jorge Ramos, periodista galardonado con premios Emmy, reconocido presentador del Noticiero Univisi n y considerado "la voz de los sin voz" de la comunidad latina, fue expulsado de una rueda de prensa del candidato presidencial Donald Trump en Iowa en el a o 2015 tras cuestionar sus planes sobre inmigraci n. En este manifiesto personal, Ramos explora qu significa ser un inmigrante latino, o simplemente un inmigrante, en los Estados Unidos de nuestros d as. Mediante datos y estad sticas, su olfato para encontrar historias y su propia memoria personal, Ramos nos muestra el rostro cambiante de America y explora las razones por las que l, y muchos otros millones de inmigrantes, a n se sienten como strangers en este pa s. "Es precisamente su estilo de confrontaci n... el que le ha ganado a Ramos la confianza de tantos hispanos. Ellos saben que en muchos pa ses al sur de Estados Unidos las preguntas directas pueden significar, no solo perder el acceso, sino tambi n perder la vida". --Marcela Valdes, The New York Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "There are times when I feel like a stranger in this country. I am not complaining and it's not for lack of opportunity. But it is something of a disappointment. I never would have imagined that after having spent thirty five years in the United States I would still be a stranger to so many. But that's how it is". Jorge Ramos, an Emmy award-winning journalist, Univision's longtime anchorman and widely considered the "voice of the voiceless" within the Latino community, was forcefully removed from an Iowa press conference in 2015 by then-candidate Donald Trump after trying to ask about his plans on immigration. In this personal manifesto, Ramos sets out to examine what it means to be a Latino immigrant, or just an immigrant, in present-day America. Using current research and statistics, with a journalist's nose for a story, and interweaving his own personal experience, Ramos shows us the changing face of America while also trying to find an explanation for why he, and millions of others, still feel like strangers in this country. "It is precisely this pattern of confrontation... that has won Ramos the trust of so many Hispanics. They know that in many countries south of the United States, direct questions can provoke not simply a loss of access but also a loss of life." --Marcela Valdes, The New York Times |
