Through storytelling, these writers create community and a sense of peoplehood that includes non-citizen Latino\/as. This volume also foregrounds the narratives of unauthorized migrants themselves, showing how their stories are emerging into the public sphere.\u003cbr\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e Immigration and citizenship are multifaceted issues, and the voices are myriad. They challenge common interpretations of “illegal” immigration, explore inevitable traumas and ethical dilemmas, protest their own silencing in immigration debates, and even capitalize on the topic for the commercial market. Yet these texts all seek to affect political discourse by advancing the possibility of empathy across lines of ethnicity and citizenship status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs border enforcement strategies escalate along with political rhetoric, detentions, and deaths, these counternarratives are more significant than ever before, and their perspectives cannot be ignored. What we are witnessing, argues Caminero-Santangelo, is a mass mobilization of stories. This growing body of literature is critical to understanding not only the Latino\/a immigrant experience but also alternative visions of nation and belonging.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559264612632,"sku":"9780813064567","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/documenting-the-undocumented-latino-a-narratives-and-social-justice-in-the-era-of-operation-gatekeeper-paperback-softback-9780813064567","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
