Book Reading
What is it like doing the back-breaking work of low-wage immigrants? To find out, Gabriel Thompson spent the year working alongside Latino immigrants, who initially thought he was either crazy or an undercover immigration agent. Gabriel Thompson’s new book, “Working in the Shadows”, shines a bright light on the underside of the American economy, exposing harsh working conditions, union busting, and lax government enforcement—while telling the stories of workers, undocumented immigrants and desperate US citizens alike, forced to live with chronic pain in the pursuit of $8 an hour. To RSVP to this reading, you can email rsvp@prattarea.org or call 718-522-2613 x 14. Tuesday, March 16. 7:30 p.m. Free with RSVP. 686 Fulton Street, Greenlight Bookstore.
