Author Presentation & Signing
by acclaimed political cartoonist

Lalo Alcaraz
Saturday, November 20 @ 4-6pm

"This collection of my immigration-related editorial cartoons features works drawn from 1993 to 2004. It is the first ever collection of my editorial cartoons, on any topic, in book form. Immigration is a hot-button political issue in this country and central to my life. I am the child of Mexican immigrants and lived firsthand the sometimes unjust treatment my parents received in the U.S. I fully understand and sympathize with the immigrant experience, and I'd like others to understand why they should sympathize too." – Lalo Alcaraz.
