Undocumented Politics

  Maria and Julio are joined by Abigail Leslie Andrews, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, San Diego to discuss her latest book, Undocumented Politics: Place, Gender and the Pathways of Mexican Migrants. They talk about political engagement within undocumented communities and the dehumanizing impact of forced displacement and deportation of immigrants that she's witnessed through her work as co-director of the Mexican Migration Field Research Program at UCSD.    ITT Staff Picks:
