Violence Against Latina Immigrants – Citizenship, Inequality, and Community

Autor Roberta Villalon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iun 2010
Caught between violent partners and the bureaucratic complications of the US Immigration system, many immigrant women are particularly vulnerable to abuse. For two years, Roberta Villalan volunteered at a non-profit group that offers free legal services to mostly undocumented immigrants who had been victims of abuse. Her innovative study of Latina survivors of domestic violence explores the complexities at the intersection of immigration, citizenship, and violence, and shows how inequality is perpetuated even through the well-intentioned delivery of vital services. Through archival research, participant observation, and personal interviews, Violence Against Latina Immigrants provides insight into the many obstacles faced by battered immigrant women of colour, bringing their stories and voices to the fore. Ultimately, Villalan proposes an active policy advocacy agenda and suggests possible changes to gender violence-based immigration laws, revealing the complexities of the lives of Latina immigrants as they confront issues of citizenship, gender violence, and social inequalities.

Recenzii

“By locating the experiences of immigrant women and their advocates within a rich ethnographic study of state policies and organizational practices, Villalan paints a complex picture of the contradictions that contribute to the reproduction of inequality. This is activist scholarship at its best.” Nancy A. Naples, author of Grassroots Warriors: Activist Mothering, Community Work and the War Against Poverty“A stunning documentation of the ways in which structural and cultural conditions in current immigration and Violence Against Women laws in the United States reinforce the hierarchies and intersections of race, class, and heterosexuality that impact on the lives of battered Latina immigrants.” Natalie J. Sokoloff, author of Domestic Violence at the Margins: Readings in Race, Class, Gender and Culture
