Responding to the reality of intensifi ed worldwide migrations today, scholars from many disciplinary backgrounds and theoretical perspectives have taken up the challenge of making sense of people in motion. How are different migrant streams and stories comparable, and how do their contrasts also illuminate the larger phenomenon? In this review, I will consider a set of books that exemplify the research of many migration scholars and, I hope, illustrate the value of com- parative consideration in uncovering broader patterns and questions with which all students of immigration must wrestle.

It will be particularly useful for the scholarly and policy communities that are growing around homeland security, immigration, and civil liberties.” joHn TIRMan, author of The Maze of Fear: Security and Migration after 9/11 While debate about immigration rages within the United States, people worldwide are moving across na- tional borders with unprecedented intensity. In this timely volume, leading scholars in sociology, anthro- pology, history, and law examine how the actions of the United States as a global leader are increasing pressures on people to migrate, while simultaneously degrading migrant rights from East Asia to Mexico. Uniting such diverse issues as market reform, drug policy, and terrorism under a common framework of human rights, the book constitutes a call for a new vision on immigration more comprehensive than anything yet imagined in the U.S. immigration debate. SaMUel MaRTÍnez is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Connecticut. ConTRIbUToRS: Susan M. Akram, Alexia Bloch, Leo R.

  • Abjectivity and Illegality in the Lives of Undocumented 1.5-Generation Latino Immigrants in the United States
    Current Anthropology Volume 53, Number 3, June 2012 255 “Awakening to a Nightmare” Abjectivity and Illegality in the Lives of Undocumented 1.5-Generation Latino Immigrants in the United States by Roberto G. Gonzales and Leo R. Chavez Does the undocumented status of 1.5-generation Latinos (those who migrated at a young age) in the United States affect their political, civic, and public selves? Our approach to this question begins with a theoretical framework based on the concept of abjectivity, which draws together abject status and subjectivity. We argue that the practices of the biopolitics of citizenship and governmentality—surveillance, immigration documents, employment forms, birth certificates, tax forms, drivers’ licenses, credit card applications, bank accounts, medical insurance, car insurance, random detentions, and deportations—enclose, penetrate, define, limit, and frustrate the lives of undocumented 1.5-generation Latino immigrants. We examine data from a random-sample telephone survey of 805 Latinos and 396 whites in Orange County, California, to provide general patterns that distinguish 1.5-generation Latino im- migrants from their first-generation counterparts and to suggest the contours of their lives as undocumented immigrants. We then examine in-depth interviews with 80 respondents also in Orange County who provide extensive qualitative information and personal narratives. The analysis shows how abjectivity and illegality constrain daily life, create internalized fears, in some ways immobilize their victims, and in other ways motivate them to engage politically to resist the dire conditions of their lives. I [don’t] want to break the law, but everything you do is The “abject” designates that which has been expelled from illegal because you are illegal.
