Specifikacia Immigrants Under Threat - Risk and Resistance in Deportation Nation Prieto Greg Paperback
Co-Winner, 2019 Latina/o Section Distinguished Contribution to Research Book Award, given by the American Sociological AssociationA portrait of two Mexican immigrant communities confronting threats of deportation, detention, and dispossessionEveryday life as an immigrant in a deportation nation is fraught with risk, but everywhere immigrants confront repression and dispossession, they also manifest resistance in ways big and small. Immigrants Under Threat shifts the conversation from what has been done to Mexican immigrants to what they do in response.From private strategies of avoidance, to public displays of protest, immigrant resistance is animated by the massive demographic shifts that started in 1965 and an immigration enforcement regime whose unprecedented scope and intensity has made daily life increasingly perilous.
