In the late 1980s Latin Americans of Christian background started arriving in Israel as labor migrants. Alejandro Paz examines the ways they perceived themselves and were perceived as potential citizens during an unexpected campaign for citizenship in the mid-2000s. This ethnographic account describes the problem of citizenship as it unfolds through language and language use among these Latinos both at home and in public life, and considers the different ways by which Latinos were recognized as having some of the qualities of citizens. Paz explains how unauthorized labor migrants quickly gained certain limited rights, such as the right to attend public schools or the right to work. Ultimately engaging Israelis across many such contexts, Latinos, especially youth, gained recognition as citizens to Israeli public opinion and governing politics. Paz illustrates how language use and mediatized interaction are under-appreciated aspects of the politics of immigration, citizenship, and national belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefaceAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote on Transcription\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Language and the Unexpected Citizen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Becoming Non-Citizens: Modernizing Agency in Latino Arrivals to Israel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Strangers in their own Home: \u003ci\u003eEducación\u003c\/i\u003e, Domesticity and (Trans-)National Intimacy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Inculcating Citizenship: Language, Performance and Commensurating Cultural Difference \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: \u003ci\u003eChisme \u003c\/i\u003eas Latino Public Life: \u003ci\u003eLa Alcachofa\u003c\/i\u003e and Marginal Public Voices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: \u003ci\u003eEl Sapo\u003c\/i\u003e Speaks: Police Informers and the Voice of the State\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Becoming Israeli Citizens: Latino Youth, Uncanny Similarity and the Message of Citizenship \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilogue: The Unexpected Citizen as Voice of Response\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52525143490840,"sku":"9780253036506","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/latinos-in-israel-language-and-unexpected-citizenship-paperback-softback-9780253036506","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
