  • La Gran Marcha: Anti-Racism and Immigrants Rights in Southern California
    La Gran Marcha: Anti-Racism and Immigrants Rights in Southern California Jenna M. Loyd1 Department of Geography, Syracuse University 144 Eggers Hall, Syracuse, NY 13244-1020 USA Email: [email protected] Andrew Burridge Department of Geography, University of Southern California, 416 Kaprielian Hall, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0255 USA Email: [email protected] Abstract Millions of people across the United States took to the streets in spring 2006 to protest repressive immigration legislation, demand just immigration reform, and seek justice in daily life. This article has two aims. First, we seek to intervene in the popular immigration debate, which denies racism and claims to be concerned only with law-and-order. Second, we analyze (im)migration politics in relation to national racial formations. That is, racialized immigration policies do not exist apart from a racially stratified citizenry. We rely on the concept of social death to trace state policies of immigration and criminalization as key sites of interracial and transnational struggles against racism and for justice and liberation. Thus, we seek to elucidate possibilities for anti-racist alliances and social change. We conclude with a discussion of the ways in which we see the immigrants rights movement connecting with other struggles for social justice, and the implications that 1 © Jenna M. Loyd and Andrew Burridge, 2007 La Gran Marcha: Anti-Racism and Immigrants Rights in Southern California 2 concepts of national racial formation and social death have for the movement against global apartheid. KEY WORDS: immigrants rights, racism, national racial formation, social death, criminalization, militarization, United States “Immigration politics also surfaced in California’s gubernatorial race … with Gov.

  • Social Movements, Political Goals and the May 1 Marches: Communicating ∗ Protest in Polysemic Media Environments
    Social Movements, Political Goals and the May 1 Marches: Communicating ∗ Protest in Polysemic Media Environments Louisa Edgerly Department of Communication, University of Washington Amoshaun Toft Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, University of Washington Bothell Mary Lynn Veden Department of Communication, University of Arkansas Abstract This paper presents an analysis of patterns of representation of the May 1, 2006 “day without an immigrant” marches in three news genres by comparing their use of language to self- presentations by movement participants. We argue that the growing popularity of niche and opinion oriented news programming is leading to a bifurcation of news norms. Instead of a homogenous journalistic audience, movement participants who seek to “send a message” through mediated news venues are presented with a greater level of polysemic interpretations among journalists. We present three themes in our analysis of how activists and journalists discursively produced the May 1 actions through language use: economic impact, policy/rights , and law/order . We argue that journalists engaged with these themes differently in the three samples: the 297 daily newspaper front pages we analyzed portrayed a negotiated reading position, Lou Dobbs Tonight an oppositional reading position, and Democracy Now! a dominant reading position. We conclude by noting several implications for the study of political communication in the context of mass mediated political protest. Introduction It is well known that social movement actors face a paradox when it comes to media coverage; they must conform to the news values of conflict, novelty and personalization just to attract journalistic attention (Cook 1998; Gans 1979; Tuchman 1978), yet such tactical choices aimed at ∗ (2011) In press in the International Journal of Press/Politics .

Four years later, the Arizona State Legislature passed a similar measure, which classifies an alien’s presence in Arizona without the possession of proper immigration documents as a state misdemeanor. Both pieces of legislation entered the public sphere and stimulated debates on immigration, as cleavages within and among the Democrats and Republicans surfaced and opposition turned into highly publicized events.

  • Groups Pushing an Anti American Agenda That Are Receiving Support from Soros
    GROUPS PUSHING AN ANTI AMERICAN AGENDA THAT ARE RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM SOROS Many protests and riots were uncovered to have consisted of paid individuals, some of whom had no affinity for the cause or even knew much about what they were protesting. The groups have a common organizer, Soros, who was either a founder or financial supporter or influencer. We have names of global companies, tax exempt entities, non government organizations (NGOs), media affiliations, owners, founders, members, supporters, vendors, contractors, attorneys, accountants, banks, U.S. government affiliations and foreign government affiliations. Many of the groups were formed to pretend to be supportive of particular causes that are contrary to the ideology of the subversive groups so the bad actors could infiltrate including placing their own regimented personnel and making demands before they contributed funds.

When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to see you?” And the King will answer, “I tell you solemnly, insofar as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.” Gospel of Matthew 25:35-40 Introduction During the spring of 2006 millions of immigrants and their supporters took to the streets across the nation to protest “enforcement-only” legislation that criminalized undocumented immigrants and service providers. Although these demonstrations surprised the nation by their seemingly spontaneous nature, a significant number of immigrant rights organizations have mobilized and continue to mobilize around immigrant rights.1 Los Angeles, in particular, has a rich history of immigrant rights activism.

    IMMIGRANT ANXIETIES: 1990S IMMIGRATION REFORM AND THE NEOLIBERAL CONSENSUS Christina Gerken A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Robert Buffington, Advisor I-Fen Lin Graduate Faculty Representative Susana Peña Ellen Berry © 2007 Christina Gerken All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Robert Buffington, Advisor Immigrant Anxieties: 1990s Immigration Reform and the Neoliberal Consensus concentrates on the discursive intersections between immigration, anti-terrorism, and welfare reform that developed in the mid-1990s debates over immigration reform in the United States. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s work, this project analyzes the discursive strategies that created, shaped, and upheld a race-specific image of a “desirable” immigrant. I argue that government debates, media discourse, and public perception were part of a larger regime of knowledge/power that continually produced and reinforced the neoliberal ideal of a responsible, self-sufficient subject. This underlying neoliberal logic with its reductionist insistence on cost-benefit analysis foreclosed any attempt to engage in a serious moral/ethical debate about the merits and effects of the U.S. immigration system. At the same time, my research demonstrates that despite this foreclosure of the terms of debate, the mid-1990s discourse on immigration was characterized by a productive tension between its underlying neoliberal assumptions and other often contradictory values and objectives. In addition, I interrogate how long-standing and deep-seated anxieties about immigrants’ race, class, gender, and sexuality intersected with neoliberal logic in both the public discourse and the legislative process.

Moses 1. Introduction 1 While the Obama administration is burdened with many pressing problems, the plight of undocumented immigrants ranks high among them. Luckily, some of the most xenophobic voices on the national scene have been temporarily stunned by Obama’s victory. In this new political context, where Hope has vanquished Fear, we might hope that America can return to the task of constructing a reasonable and humane response to the needs of its Illegal People.2 2 The size of America’s population of undocumented immigrants is impossible to gauge.
