David on his book "Illegal People" Frances on her book "Get a Grip"

Program Title: Latin Waves Interviews David Bacon/Frances Moore Lappé
Description: Part A - David Bacon explores the human side of globalization, exposing the many ways it uproots people driving them to migrate. He also speaks about how immigration policy makes the labor of those displaced people a crime in the United States. Illegal People explains why current immigration policy produces even more displacement, more migration, more immigration raids, and a more divided, polarized society.

Part B - Francis on her book "Getting a Grip" Clarity, Creativity and Courage for the World We Really Want. This fresh, original work affirms readers’ basic sanity— their intuition that it is possible to stop grasping at straws and to grasp instead the real roots of today’s crises. Drawing on the latest findings in psychology and anthropology, it provides a new framework for thinking about fear, power, democracy and hope itself.
