From a deadly border to America's kidnapping capital-the secret lives at the heart of the immigration controversy  Arizona's violent border is the busiest gateway for illegal immigration in America, making Arizona Ground Zero for the immigration debate. No state is as hostile to the undocumented, and no city is as unwelcoming as Phoenix. Yet Phoenix is home to thousands who live in the shadows, where civil rights are neglected and lives are lost. Illegal sheds light on the invisible immigrants who persevere despite kidnappings and drug wars, an ongoing recession, and laws barring them from working, learning, and driving. By profiling these undocumented people, and those-like notorious Sheriff Joe Arpaio-who persecute them, author Terry Greene Sterling courageously reveals the changing face of immigration in America and gives new insight into a divisive national crisis. "Terry Greene Sterling puts a human face on a dishonest immigration debate. The sheriff is ugly, the laws harsh and pointless, the people poor, eager, hunted-and the people are our new neighbors regardless of our neighborhoods. Read this moving and surprising book before speaking out on who belongs here and who does not. You'll be happy you did." -Charles Bowden, award-winning journalist and author of Murder Ciudad Juarez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields "Immigration is the twenty-first century's Grapes of Wrath. And, like John Steinbeck, Terry Greene Sterling focuses on the people of illegal immigration-victims and perps-to show us what life is truly like on the frontlines of the immigration issue. From official neglect to rape, murder, kidnapping, and death, Sterling takes the lid off the world of illegal immigration and exposes the whole snake pit."-Paul Perry, New York Times bestselling author, documentary filmmaker "What a vivid portrayal of the Arizona immigrant underground. Illegal is not afraid to show the bad decisions immigrants make along with their resilience and strength of spirit. This is the total picture, a heartbreaking one in a state that has chosen to demonize its Mexican residents."-Tony Ortega, Editor in Chief, The Village Voice "No one brings you into the illegal immigration underground quite like Terry Greene Sterling. Her gritty descriptions of border crossers, transvestites, and child molesters will linger in your thoughts. Her achingly beautiful accounts of everyday people and tragic situations really stick with you. From Sheriff Joe Arpaio's bravado to a locked-up mom's longing for her child, the stories in Illegal are strikingly vivid, and the author's reporting flawless. No one should even attempt to speak on the matter of illegal immigration in Arizona without reading Illegal first."-Ashlea Deahl, editor of PHOENIX magazine "Arizona is ground zero in America's immigration battles and Terry Greene Sterling writes about the struggles of the people involved with authority, passion and compassion. Her insights and observations are detailed with nuance and substance that can't be acquired by dropping in when the story is hot. This book and her blog, White Woman in the Barrio, reflect her ongoing commitment to telling stories about the people in addition to the policies that are front and center in the immigration wars. If you want to understand what is going on in Arizona now, Illegal is the book to read."-Rick Rodriguez, Carnegie and Southwest Borderlands Initiative professor, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, Arizona State University "[A] prize-winning journalist's vivid stories of the real people behind the stereotypes, undocumented immigrants living with the already harsh legal atmosphere of Phoenix."-Colette Bancroft, St. Petersburg Times book editor "At times, Sterling's book reads like Shakespearean people making difficult choices in impossible circumstances. And like classic tragedies, the cast of characters here includes opportunists, those who prey on the vulnerable, attention-seekers, and the well meaning. No wonder all of this leads to the extremes of human emotion, such as anger and rage. Throughout the book, Sterling's telling of these stories is honest and thoughtful." -Sativia Peterson, Phoenix New Times
