Collective Efficacy for Community Change in Response to Immigrant Stigma Stress
Many studies have discussed the stress and stigma created by immigration enforcement policies such as Arizona SB 1070. Yet few studies have examined sources of resilience to immigrant stigma stress among low-income Mexican-descent communities. In two recent studies, we examined how community members in a low-income ethnic enclave in Arizona experienced stress from SB 1070 and the mitigating role of perceived collective efficacy (i.e., the belief …
Undocumented Immigrants in the United States
This two-volume reference work addresses the dynamic lives of undocumented immigrants in the United States and establishes these individuals' experiences as a key part of our nation's demographic and sociological evolution. This two-volume work supplies accessible and comprehensive coverage of this complex subject by consolidating the insights of hundreds of scholars who have studied the issues of undocumented immigration in the United States for…
The Border Community and Immigration Stress Scale
Anti-Immigrant Arizona
Although the seeds of legislated restrictions for immigrants can be traced to 1994 with California's unsuccessful Prop 187, more recent trends epitomized by Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 signed into law in April 2010 have renewed concerns about the impact of such policies on the life and livelihood of immigrant communities. We argue that in Arizona, emerging anti-immigrant policies that by design single out undocumented immigrants for exclusion gros…
Chicana/o Students Respond to Arizona's Anti-Ethnic Studies Bill, SB 1108
Arizona Senate Bill 1108, the "anti-ethnic studies bill," proposed to eliminate ethnic studies programs and ethnic-based organizations from state-funded education. Along with other anti-immigrant legislation, this bill is creating an oppressive climate of discrimination against individuals of Mexican descent in Arizona. This study investigates the impact of SB 1108 on the mental well-being of Mexican-descent undergraduate students and examines pr…
Close encounters of the deadly kind
In this paper, I discuss several findings of my study of migrant women, temporarily suspended in the “intersection” of diametrically opposed processes: those posed by border enforcement measures and those posed by transnational mobility. A pressing issue that emerged from this research was how close women come to encountering death as they side-step the border wall to cross without authorization into the US. Their testimonies shed light on how th…
Latinas' Practices of Emergence
In this article, we attempt to map out the “in-between” space between global and cultural narratives that mediates women's educational trajectories. Case studies of women living on the U.S.–Mexico border make visible these spaces, sites of “practices of emergence”: the practices that emerge from incommensurable economic demands and social prescriptions and produced in the act of social survival. In negotiating both global and cultural narratives,…
The ABCs of migration costs
In efforts to avoid detection by border enforcement agents, undocumented migrants from Latin America often risk life and limb to enter the U.S. Most commonly, they walk two to four days through an inhospitable desert in hopes of being picked up and whisked away to their final destination. Cost in human lives not withstanding, the price of this venture correlates to increased border enforcement. Interviews with repatriated migrant women on the bor…
Social Exchange Practices among Mexican-Origin Women in Nogales, Arizona
This paper summarizes quantitative and qualitative findings from a 1999 study of Mexican-origin households in Nogales, Arizona. It finds that women's educational progress is facilitated by social support and, even more important, that a household's investment in the education of its members is significantly raised with an increase in the education level of the female head of household. It argues that systematic efforts to build on existent cultur…
