Calendar

as part of the observance of Saratoga Peace Week. Unlike standard histories that focus on immigration laws, Goodman focuses on the bureaucratic “machine” that implements the laws in response to internal pressures, like budget, and external pressures, like the desire of transportation companies to make money. The strategy of creating fear in immigrant communities pre-dates the current administration by over a century, according to Goodman. It reflects racist motives, but also the motive to coerce unwanted “aliens” to leave at the least cost to the government. Goodman is assistant professor of history and Latin American and Latino studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He attended Saratoga Springs High School and eventually earned a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. The Deportation Machine is the product of nearly a decade of research in more than 20archives in the US and Mexico. Viewers may access the Sept. 24livestream through the events calendar on the Caffe Lena website (caffelena.org), through the Caffe Lena YouTube channel, or on either of Northshire Bookstore’s FaceBook pages. Access is free although donations are invited. There will be an opportunity to submit questions during the livestream.
