Patrick Strickland has done a fine piece of reporting from places we don’t dare to tread.” — \u003cb\u003eLuis Alberto Urrea, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Highway\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e This real-life Western tells the story of how citizens in a small Arizona border town stood up to anti-immigrant militias and vigilantes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Marauders \u003c\/i\u003euncovers the riveting nonfiction saga of far-right militias terrorizing the border towns of southern Arizona. In one of the towns profiled, Arivaca, rogue militia members killed a man and his nine-year-old daughter in 2009. In response, the residents organized and spent two years trying to push  the new militias out through boycotts and by urging local businesses to  ban  them. The militias and vigilante groups again raised the stakes, spreading Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories alleging that town residents were complicit in child sex trafficking, prompting fears of vigilante violence.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Marauders \u003c\/i\u003eflips the standard formula most often applied to stories about immigration and the far right. Too often those stories are told from the perspective of the ones committing the violence. While Strickland doesn't shy away from exploring those dark themes, the far right are not the protagonists of the book. Rather, the people targeted by hate groups, and the individuals who rose up to stop them in their tracks, are the heroes of this dramatic story.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52250539065632,"sku":"9781612199269","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781612199269.jpg?v=1787763623","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/the-marauders-standing-up-to-vigilantes-in-the-american-borderlands","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
