the
faces
behind
the
war

Recenzii
I
am
excited
to
teach
immigration
again
because

read
and
discuss
the
Tenth
Anniversary
Edition
of
Labor
and
Legality.
My
students
Through careful and compassionate ethnography, Ruth Gomberg-Muñoz moves beyond one-dimensional representations of undocumented people to reveal the humanity of those struggling to improve their own lives and those of their families. With this revised edition, Gomberg-Muñoz revisits a social problem that, far from being resolved, has become more dire since initial publication of Labor and Legality.
As legacies of the U.S. in Latin America continue to play out demographically and culturally, and amid unsubstantiated assertions and policies that are damaging to many families and large sectors of communities, books like Labor and Legality are essential. This text humanizes public and policy discourse by acknowledging people as indispensable to communities, as well as to countries, which out of necessity may be more than a single place for living andconnecting.
