Books by Walter J. Nicholls

Walter Nicholls's new book traces the story of the immigrant rights movement from its grassroots origins through its meteoric rise to the national stage.

Through historical and comparative research on the immigrant rights movements of the United States, France and the Netherlands, Cities and Social Movements examines how small resistances against restrictive immigration policies do or don t develop into large and sustained mobilizations.

The DREAMers provides the first investigation of the undocumented youth movement that has transformed the national immigration debate, from its start in the early 2000s through the present day.
