JAMES HARNEY
"Globalization and the Undocumented"

at Community Church of Boston
565 Boylston St. (Copley Square)

*************

Jim Harney, a photojournalist and storyteller, traveled to the U.S.-Mexico
border & the Mexico-Guatemala border in the thick of our national debate on
the fate of some 12 million undocumented people. Latin American migrants run
a gauntlet of brutality, riding on the outside of freight trains, trekking
through deserts, hoping to find in the U.S. a future denied to them in their
homeland by economic imperialism. His presentation illustrates the human
cost of globalization, as he shares some of their stories and explores the
forces driving them to make the dangerous journey north.

Jim is artist-in-residence for Posibilidad, a Maine-based nonprofit that
engages people in conversation around the excluded of society. For more than
two decades, this former priest has traveled to and lived with the poor in
Venezuela, Haiti & the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Iraq, Colombia,
Chiapas, Guatemala and El Salvador. Also, following his presence at protests
of the World Trade Organization here and abroad, his photos and narratives
have unmasked corporate violence.
