Migrant Crossings: Witnessing Human Trafficking in the U.S. - Fukushima, Annie Isabel

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to upper back inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book examines the experiences and representations of Asian and Latina/o migrants trafficked in the United States into informal economies and service industries. Fukushima examines how migrants legally cross into visibility, through frames of citizen ship and narratives of victimhood. She explores the role of the law and the legal system, the notion of "perfect victimhood," and iconic victims. Migrant Crossings deeply interrogates what it means to bear witness to migration in migratory times - and what such migrant crossings mean for subjects who experience violence during and after their crossing.
