- Summary
- "In the American Southwest and its borderlands, no other social justice advocate has made a greater impact on the lives of undocumented workers than Enrique Morones. In The Power of One, Morones tells his own story (with noted Chicano historian Richard Griswold del Castillo) and the result is a book that unfolds as the singular memoir of someone who took the chance to make a difference--a brave activist who, with his organization, the Border Angels, saves the lives of legions of sojourners, brave, desperate travelers who attempt to cross the hot, beautiful, and dangerous deserts that fuse the United States and Mexico."--Back cover.
