Her analysis addresses the context in Mexico, the experience of border crossing, policies to restrict migration, and migrants' options to achieve secure status. Villegas also provides an assessment of the barriers migrants encounter once in Canada, specifically in the labour market, in their creative pursuits, and in accessing health care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews, policy documents, media accounts, and literature from local social service organizations, \u003cem\u003eNorth of El Norte\u003c\/em\u003e concludes that migration – and by extension migrant illegalization – is assembled, produced, and negotiated. The comprehensive research in this book sheds light on how individuals and institutions work to illegalize migrants and on migrants' active resistance to these efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Immigration Trajectories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Assembling Insecuritization in Mexico\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Transit and Encountering Borders\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Assembling Discursive and Affective Productions of \"Illegality\" through Visa Restrictions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Immigration Status Trajectories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Navigating a Shifting and Exclusionary Refugee Determination System\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Yearning for Secure Status\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart III: Internal and Interlocking Borders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Access to Health Care and Temporal Negotiations of Internal Borders\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 At the Intersection of Precarious Work and Status\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Creative Practices amid Internal Borders\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix: Participant Information at a Glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences, Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531136495896,"sku":"9780774863377","price":55.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/north-of-el-norte-illegalized-mexican-migrants-in-canada-hardback-9780774863377","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
