by Terry Greene Sterling and Jude Joffe-Block
Buy on AmazonRecommended by
"Joe Arpaio, the right-wing Republican ex-sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., has been one of the most controversial political figures of the past few decades, accused of racial profiling and mistreating prisoners, and convicted of criminal contempt of court in 2017. (President Donald Trump pardoned him weeks later.) In their new book, journalists Terry Greene Sterling and Jude Joffe-Block tell the story of the Latinx activists who brought about his downfall – it’s a smart, well-documented book about a group of people determined to hold the powerful to account."
