So for years, I have been mentally returning to a seminar I took with Mike Apple while I was a graduate student in sociology and rural sociology at University of Wisconsin Madison.

Before the month of May ends and the celebrations of old that marked May Day as International Workers' Day fade deeper into our historical memory, I wanted to share a speech I gave (as amended) to the Ithaca area for the 2007 May Day Immigrants Rights Rally. A more substantial discussion of 'neoliberal nativism' can be found in my forthcoming article in Race, Gender and Class (2008, 15:1-2).

I. “Workers of the World… UNITE!”
