The “mass production technique” here refers to mass prosecutions, an earlier iteration of mass deportation policy that has been aimed at Mexicans in Los Angeles for my entire lifetime

Podcast episode graphic. On the left, a smiling man wearing glasses and a blazer and collared shift. Text on the right reads: Drafting the Past Episode 73: Tyler Anbinder.
New! I talked with Tyler Anbinder about his approach to writing and revising--plus, you'll learn about the person who told this celebrated historian he would never write trade book! We dug into his newest book, PLENTIFUL COUNTRY (@littlebrown.bsky.social). Listen: draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis...

Listen to my interview with this great historian of New York immigrants while you wait for election results!
