Description

Product Description Collecting the diverse perspectives of scholars, labor organizers, and human-rights advocates, Accountability across Borders is the first edited collection that connects studies of immigrant integration in host countries to accounts of transnational migrant advocacy efforts, including case studies from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Covering the role of federal, state, and local governments in both countries of origin and destinations, as well as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), these essays range from reflections on labor solidarity among members of the United Food and Commercial Workers in Toronto to explorations of indigenous students from the Maya diaspora living in San Francisco. Case studies in Mexico also discuss the enforcement of the citizenship rights of Mexican American children and the struggle to affirm the human rights of Central American migrants in transit. As policies regarding immigration, citizenship, and enforcement are reaching a flashpoint in North America, this volume provides key insights into the new dynamics of migrant civil society as well as the scope and limitations of directives from governmental agencies. Review Accountability Across Borders offers a rich set of contributions that are needed to conceptualize American 'ethnic' history beyond the borders of the United States, toward one that is transnational, multiply defined, and takes seriously the question of migration, rights, and social movements. This anthology offers up a nuanced regional perspective on immigration that is a must-read for transnational advocates, non-governmental organizations, governmental organizations, immigration scholars, and any person who is interested in taking up immigration theory, policy, and practice.-- "Journal of American Ethnic History" (6/1/2020 12:00:00 AM) About the Author Xóchitl Bada is an associate professor of Latin American and Latino studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
