Undocumented by Aviva Chomsky
A longtime immigration activist explores what it means to be an undocumented American in this "impassioned and well-reported case for change" (New York Times).In this illuminating work, immigrant rights activist Aviva Chomsky shows how "illegality" and "undocumentedness" are concepts that were created to exclude and exploit. With a focus on US policy, she probes how people, especially Mexican and Central Americans, have been assigned this status-and to what ends.
Blending history with human drama, Chomsky explores what it means to be undocumented in a legal, social, economic, and historical context. The result is a powerful testament of the complex, contradictory, and ever-shifting nature of status in America.
Aviva Chomsky is a history professor at Salem State University and the coordinator of Latin American Studies. Chomsky has been involved in South American solidarity and immigrant rights issues for over twenty-five years and is the author of various publications.
