(Im)migration Movements & the Law

Illegalized: Undocumented Youth Movements in the United States by Rafael A. Martínez examines the collective activism and resilience of undocumented youth in America. The book delves into the socio-political movements these individuals have formed in response to their precarious legal status. Martínez explores the power of direct action, the challenges posed by detention and deportation, and the role of artivism and alternative cultural practices in fostering community and belonging. By highlighting personal narratives and historical contexts, the author aims to shed light on the systemic barriers undocumented youth face and their relentless pursuit of rights and recognition. The book is targeted at scholars, activists, and policymakers interested in immigration, social justice, and youth movements.
