New on the Shelf: Immigration, Resistance, and the Power of Story

The national conversation around immigration is louder and more hostile than ever, but many of the most critical voices remain unheard. In this urgent moment, we are turning our attention to the leaders, communities, and movements pushing back against criminalization, detention, and invisibility. These newly added titles center immigrant experience, expose the systems that shape migration, and highlight the stories that advocacy alone cannot tell. Nonprofits and grassroots groups working in this space face enormous challenges. From legal uncertainty and increased surveillance to funder fatigue and the emotional toll of crisis response, this work remains as complex as it is essential.

These books were selected to offer clarity, grounding, and perspective. Whether you are on the front lines of service, building sanctuary networks, or shaping policy and narrative, these stories provide insight and fuel for the road ahead.
