Willowbrook;: A report on how it is and why it… af Geraldo Rivera
This was a horrific book to read as it presented a picture of a world that is so beneath most of our cookie cutter molds. We don't normally want to see the world of the mentally ill and how they have been treated in our society. They have been mistreated for generations and this book showcases that in a fashion that is gut-wrenching.

Geraldo takes us on the journey from when he gets the assignment to a special that is run on ABC about the mental health facility. He sees children that are mistreated, neglected, and not even clothed. The book is painful to read, but as a social work major it is vital to understand the conditions that these people were actuorced to live in. As a result I feel I better understand their world and havee in a different view of the scope of treatment of individuals with mental health issues.… (mere)

His Panic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in the U.S. af Geraldo Rivera
Who would have guessed that a book written 6 years ago could have very well been written today. Sadly, not much has changed in the immigration debate and there is still too much xenophobia from many on the right politically.

His Panic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in The U.S. af Geraldo Rivera
Examining the past—his own parents’ struggle to be “real” Americans, as well as the plight of other ethnic groups in their quest for that dream—Rivera places the issue of illegal immigration in a historic context, dispelling the myth that we are facing an unprecedented crisis.

His Panic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in the U.S. af Geraldo Rivera
An explanation of why America need not fear Latino immigrants. This is a reaction to some of the hate mongers on Television and Radio. Rivera takes apart some of the stereotypes and mythology that some choose to believe about our latest wave of immigrants. Written in an almost chatty style that keeps the reader's interest and helps the flow of his arguments.
