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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImmigration 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marta Caminero-Santangelo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813064562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813064567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Marta Caminero-Santangelo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128557695231,"sku":"9780813064567","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6df9106-0c4e-4265-89ba-d82d17fc44f2.jpg?v=1687459270","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/documenting-the-undocumented-marta-caminero-santangelo-9780813064567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
