Riassunto:

Features lessons and readings on the history of the Mexican border and discusses both sides of the current debate on Mexican immigration.

Product Description: The U.S. government has taken extraordinary steps to stop immigration from Mexico: more walls, more Border Patrol agents, more technology. Yet every year, hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants risk their lives crossing the border. Why? The Line Between Us explores the history of U.S.-Mexican relations and the roots of Mexican immigration, all in the context of the global economy. And it shows how teachers can help students understand the immigrant experience and the drama of border life. But The Line Between Us is about more than Mexican immigration and border issues. It's about imaginative and creative teaching that gets students to care about the world. Using roles plays, stories, poetry, improvisations, simulations, and video, Bill Bigelow demonstrates how to combine lively teaching with critical analysis. A book for teachers, adult educators, community organizers. Winner of the World Hunger Year Media award.
