What Side Are You On?: A Tohono O'odham Life across Borders

The Seeing and Not Seeing Faculty Seminar is delighted to host José Antonio Lucero (Professor and Chair at the Comparative History of Ideas Department, University of Washington, and a political scientist by training) and Michael Steven Wilson (indigenous human rights activist). They are co-authors of What Side Are You On?: A Tohono O'odham Life across Borders, a collaborative work on Wilson’s life history and his path from Green Beret doing service in El Salvador to minister setting out water for migrants crossing the desert on Tohono O’odham land in Arizona.  The way Lucero and Wilson practice research, activism, and writing relates directly to key themes of our seminar.
