Reseña del editor:

A riveting exposT of illegal immigration in America describes the 1999 accidental death of an illegal Mexican immigrant at a Brooklyn construction site, offers a close-up profile of the victim, Eduardo Gutierrez, and reveals the corruption, indifference, and bad politics that are exemplified by Gutierrez's death. 25,000 first printing.

Nota de la solapa:

do Gutiérrez’s dreams gave him no idea of the dangerous path ahead. The young dream of everything except death . . .

The Short Sweet Dream of Eduardo Gutiérrez is Jimmy Breslin’s most passionate and hard-hitting book to date. A work of conscience that travels from San Matías Cuatchatyotla, a small dusty town in central Mexico, to the cold and wet streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this searing exposé chronicles the life and tragic death of an illegal immigrant worker, along with the broader issues of municipal corruption and America’s deadly and controversial border policy.

In November 1999, an accidental death at a Brooklyn construction site made headlines because the developers had major fund-raising ties to the administration of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. But the dead man’s name went all but unmentioned in the press coverage.
