Introduction: Theoretical and Methodological Approach
This introductory chapter details the research methods undertaken for this book's study, emphasizing that immigrant women's vulnerability is based not only on their gender but also on nationality, race, ethnicity, language, religion, documented or undocumented immigration status, threatened legal status, situational isolation from family and community, cross-national frames of cultural and legal reference, and socioeconomic status. This activist …
Resisting Inequality
This chapter focuses on how formal and informal barriers can be reproduced or challenged by looking at the agency of battered immigrants and nonprofit workers and suggesting ways to dismantle systems of inequality. By uncovering the ways in which Latina battered immigrants and ORA staff are affected by and negotiate specific intersecting structural forces, this chapter proposes that agency is nuanced. Agency does not occur initially in a vacuum b…

Informal Barriers to Citizenship
This chapter investigates the informal barriers that emerge at the nonprofit organization level, with informal obstacles surfacing in the interaction between immigrants and nonprofit workers. The stories of survivors Clara, Silvana, Rosario, Monica, Samuel, Yolanda, Patricia, Ramona, and Leticia reveal the preferences that nonprofit advocates at ORA had in regard to their “clientele.” Immigrants who behaved in particular ways tended to be better …

Violence against immigrants in a context of crisis: A critical migration feminist of color analysis
The anti-immigration measures and xenophobic sentiments that have spread since the eruption of the financial crisis in 2008 have been significantly detrimental for immigrant survivors of intimate partner violence in the U.S. given that employment opportunities have declined, exploitative work conditions have worsened, immigration controls have increased, and nonprofit service provision have been under stress. Based on interviews with service prov…
The Resurgence of Collective Memory, Truth, and Justice Mobilizations in Latin America
Violence Against Latina Immigrants: Citizenship, Inequality, and Community
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 Villalón volunteered at a nonprofit 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, citizens…
Passage to citizenship and the nuances of agency: Latina Battered immigrants
Neoliberalism, Corruption, and Legacies of Contention: Argentina’s Social Movements, 1993-2006
Beginning in 1993, an innovative grassroots wave of social and political contention spread throughout Argentina. A heterogeneous mass of unemployed and otherwise disadvantaged citizens created alternative means of dissent and organizations that displaced traditional institutions such as unions and political parties as the main channels of societal representation. The development of this wave of contention was related to the negative consequences …
