Prof. Heather Silber Mohamed (Clark University) wins the 2018 "Latino Politics Best Book Award" for his book The New Americans? Immigration, Protest, and the Politics of Latino Identity (University Press of Kansas)

In 2006, millions of Latinos mobilized in opposition to H.R. 4437, an immigration proposal pending before the US Congress. In her new book, Heather Silber Mohamed suggests that these unprecedented protests marked a turning point for the Latino population—a point that is even more salient ten years later as the issue of immigration roils the politics of the 2016 presidential election. In The New Americans? Silber Mohamed explores the complexities of the Latino community, particularly as it is united and divided by the increasingly pressing questions of immigration.
