Immigrants will always be a bridge between two worlds.
Chef José Andrés, one of 360 backers of our crowdfunding campaign.
The photographs gathered by the authors are a treasure trove. They not only turn visible the immigrants of the title but also display the richness and diversity of their existence: Asturian cigar-makers in Tampa and miners in West Virginia, Andalusian plantation workers in Hawaii and California, Basque shepherds in Idaho and Nevada, picnics and days at the beach, orchestras and dances, ball games of all sorts, dinners, weddings, children…a veritable kaleidoscope of immigrant live and memories.
José C. Moya. Professor of History and Director of the Forum on Migration, Barnard College.
I salute and support this Invisible Immigrants project, which will rescue and disseminate the legacy of these unsung men and women.
