At the 2021 Zócalo Public Square Book Prize Lecture, Jia Lynn Yang, national editor at the New York Times, and the winner of the 11th annual Zócalo Book Prize for her debut book, One Mighty and Irresistible Tide: The Epic Struggle Over American Immigration, 1924-1965, was interviewed by Stanford University sociologist Tomás Jiménez.
During the event, Yang spoke about how even during one of the most restrictive periods in America’s immigration history, people were working to change immigration laws. "There's all this churning underneath... [whether it's ]building this moral argument of a nation of immigrants [or even the] question of what it means to be a mainstream American," said Yang.
