It tells the stories of immigrant communities and the struggle for immigrants' rights in three very different parts of the country: California's Central Valley, a major agricultural area; Houston, Texas, where immigrants have reshaped the city's political and economic landscape; and central Iowa, where newly emergent immigrant communities face a host of challenges. "Echando Raices/Taking Root" is available in both English and Spanish. It features the stories and reflections of immigrants and refugees from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, Cambodia, and Laos. A special feature is the inclusion of testimony by indigenous people, including Hmong refugees from Laos, Mayan refugees from Guatemala, and Mixteco immigrants and refugees from Mexico. Also included are perspectives from researchers, African American and European American community activists, local officials, displaced workers, and more. "Echando Raices/Taking Root" is an open-ended educational resource designed for use by immigrant organizations, other community organizations, labor unions, faith communities, adult educators, and service providers. The complete production is one hour long and each of its three sections may be used either separately or together. It is accompanied by a discussion guide with background on immigration issues and suggested activities for use in community contexts and adult education settings.
