Migra Mouse: Political Cartoons on Immigration

In "Migra Mouse: Political Cartoons on Immigration," celebrated cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz offers a poignant and humorous exploration of the immigrant experience and racial justice through his incisive political cartoons. Published on January 1, 2004, this collection showcases Alcaraz's sharp wit and powerful commentary, honed over years as a leading voice in Latino media. Alcaraz, who has been drawing for the L.A. Weekly since 1992 and is the creator of the nationally syndicated comic strip "La Cucaracha," uses his art to challenge the perceptions and injustices faced by immigrants. This book is an excellent resource for adult education classes, providing not only a creative medium to engage with critical social issues but also encouraging reflection and discussion on the complexities of immigration and racial dynamics. Alcaraz's work, which has earned him numerous accolades including the Southern California Journalism Award and the Rockefeller New Media Fellowship, invites readers to question and rethink the narratives surrounding immigration policy and Latino identity in America.
