SUMMARY:Book Talk with Abigail L. Andrews
DESCRIPTION:  \nIRLE Colloquia Series presents: \n\nIn conversation with Abigail L. Andrews about her new book: Undocumented Politics: Place\, Gender\, and the Pathways of Mexican Migrants\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor twenty-one months\, Abigail Andrews lived with two groups of migrants and their families in the mountains of Mexico and in the barrios of Southern California. Her nuanced comparison reveals how local laws and power dynamics shape migrants’ agency. Andrews also exposes how arbitrary policing abets gendered violence. Yet she insists that the process does not begin or end in the United States. Rather\, migrants interpret their destinations in light of the hometowns they leave behind. Their counterparts in Mexico must also come to grips with migrant globalization. And on both sides of the border\, men and women transform patriarchy through their battles to belong. Ambitious and intimate\, Undocumented Politics reveals how the excluded find space for political voice.\n\nAbigail Andrews is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies at the University of California-San Diego. Her research focuses on gender\, migration\, state power\, and grassroots agency. She is particularly interested in the struggles of marginalized groups in Mexico and the United States\, including indigenous peasants\, deportees\, and undocumented immigrants. She also co-direct the Mexican Migration Field Research Program at UCSD. Dr. Andrews has also studied power dynamics within transnational social movements and the role of gender in global politics. In collaboration with students at UCSD\, she is currently conducting field research about the political impacts of forced displacement\, with a focus on deportation and Central American transit through Mexico. \nFor more information\, visit http://bit.ly/AbigailAndrews. \n\nThe 2019-2020 Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) colloquia series aims to convene faculty\, students\, and special guests to discuss multidisciplinary research and policy issues impacting workers and their families today.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) houses the Labor Studies academic program and three units – UCLA Labor Center\, Human Resources Roundtable\, and the Labor Occupational Safety and Health program. IRLE forms wide-ranging research agendas that carry UCLA into the Los Angeles community and beyond.\n\nCosponsored by: \nUCLA Center for Mexican Studies
