Hi, Reddit! My name is Daniel Connolly and I wrote my first news article about immigration from Mexico in 2001. Since then, I’ve returned to the subject over and over. From 2002 to 2006 I covered Mexican immigration to the South for news organizations in Birmingham, Alabama as well as Little Rock, Arkansas. In 2006, I moved back to my hometown, Memphis, Tennessee. Like many cities in the South, Memphis saw relatively little immigration until the 1990s, but has seen dramatic changes since then. It’s been a fascinating story to follow. I spent more than five years researching and writing a narrative nonfiction book about children of Mexican immigrants coming of age in Memphis. It’s called The Book of Isaias: A child of Hispanic immigrants seeks his own America. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Book-Isaias-Hispanic-Immigrants-America/dp/1250083060 It won first place for Best Political / Current affairs book in the 2017 International Latino Book Awards. It’s also been named to the 2017 Social Justice Book List published by The National Network of State Teachers of the Year, as well as to booklists including the Latino Life Booklist published by the Boston Public Library. http://www.bpl.org/research/adultbooklists/latinolife2017.pdf I’m now covering immigration, breaking news and a wide range of other subjects for The Commercial Appeal newspaper in Memphis, Tennessee. https://www.commercialappeal.com/ I’m also an advisory board member for a startup immigration newsletter called Migratory Notes. https://medium.com/migratory-notes I’ve lectured on immigration and related issues across the country, including Ohio University, Kenyon College, Seattle University and Princeton University. I’ll do my best to answer your questions about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the current immigration climate, immigration history, and anything else you want to know. AMA!
