In Driving While Brown, they tell the tale of two opposing movements that redefined Arizona's political landscapethe restrictionist cause advanced by Arpaio and the Latino-led resistance that rose up against it.The story follows Arpaio,his supporters,and his adversaries,including Lydia Guzman,who gathered evidence for a racial-profiling lawsuit that took surprising turns. Guzman joined a coalition determined to stop Arpaio, reform unconstitutional policing, and fight for Latino civil rights. Driving While Brown details Arpaios transformationfrom America's Toughest Sheriff,who forced inmates to wear pink underwear,into the nation's most feared immigration enforcer who ended up receiving President Donald Trump's first pardon. The authors immerse readers in the lives of people on both sides of the battle and uncover the deep roots of the Trump administrations immigration policies.The result of tireless investigative reporting,this powerful book provides critical insights into effective resistance to institutionalized racism and the community organizing that helped transform Arizona from a conservative stronghold into a battleground state.
