My name is Victor and I am a librarian at the Largo Public Library. Today I am going to talk about a nonfiction book that we have in the Spanish collection entitled Stranger: The Challenge of a Latino Immigrant in the Trump Era by Jorge Ramos. Synopsis: Jorge Ramos, an Emmy award-winning journalist, Univision’s longtime anchorman and widely considered the “voice of the voiceless” within the Latino community, was forcefully removed from an Iowa press conference in 2015 by then-candidate Donald Trump after trying to ask about his plans on immigration. In this personal manifesto, Ramos sets out to examine what it means to be a Latino immigrant, or just an immigrant, in present-day America. Using current research and statistics, with a journalist’s nose for a story, and interweaving his own personal experience, Ramos shows us the changing face of America while also trying to find an explanation for why he, and millions of others, still feel like strangers in this country. Opinion: If you are not a Univision viewer, you may not be familiar with Jorge Ramos. He is a news anchor and reporter. Ramos became famous in the Anglo-Saxon public for having been expelled from an important press conference during the Iowa Caucus season for asking candidate Donald J.

Ramos was born and raised in Mexico City, but moved to the United States to receive additional journalistic training and looking for the opportunity to be freer in his journalistic practice. He was lucky in television journalism, but he has succeeded and has done quite well. He has also become a US citizen. In the book, Ramos addresses the story of the press conference immediately. It is not as dramatic as it looked on television, because the future president allowed him to return to the press conference and made a private interview with Ramos later. This moment set a couple of precedents, however. Trump and the press have had a difficult relationship, to put it mildly. Another precedent was also established. As Ramos cooled his heels outside the press conference, a Trump supporter, wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat, told Ramos: "Get out of my country!" Ramos informed him that he was a US citizen, just to be told: "Whatever!" For the first time in years, Ramos felt that he was really a stranger in his adopted country, hence the title of the book. Ramos builds on this latest incident for a while, discussing how the President's behavior and comments have encouraged many to act, feeling a change in the political climate. He also talks about civil rights inequalities for Hispanics, his own mostly positive experiences and how the current political climate is disorienting for a man who has lived more than half of his life in ...
