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, citizenship, and violence, and shows how inequality is perpetuated even through the well-intentioned delivery of vital services. Through archival research, participant observation, and personal interviews, Violence Against Latina Immigrants provides insight into the many obstacles faced by battered immigrant women of color, bringing their stories and voices to the fore. Ultimately, Villalón proposes an active policy advocacy agenda and suggests possible changes to gender violence-based immigration laws, revealing the complexities of the lives of Latina immigrants as they confront issues of citizenship, gender violence, and social inequalities.Women immigrantsViolence againstUnited StatesLatin AmericansViolence againstUnited StatesWomen immigrantsUnited StatesSocial conditionsLatin AmericansUnited StatesSocial conditionsUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsElectronic books.Caught.Latina.Roberta.Villalon.abuse.been.between.bureaucratic.citizenship.complexities.complications.delivery.domestic.even.explores.free.group.immigrant.immigrants.immigration.inequality.innovative.intersection.legal.many.mostly.nonprofit.offers.particularly.partners.perpetuated.services.shows.study.survivors.system.that.through.undocumented.victims.violence.violent.vital.volunteered.vulnerable.well-intentioned.women.years.Women immigrantsViolence againstLatin AmericansViolence againstWomen immigrantsSocial conditions.Latin AmericansSocial conditions.362.83Villalón Roberta1036979MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458542603321Violence against Latina immigrants2457632UNINA02004nam 2200589 450 991081395760332120230803194319.01-941451-01-2(CKB)2560000000305251(OCoLC)891661474(CaPaEBR)ebrary10933629(SSID)ssj0001335590(PQKBManifestationID)11714499(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001335590(PQKBWorkID)11307064(PQKB)10482837(MiAaPQ)EBC3411895(MdBmJHUP)muse41758(Au-PeEL)EBL3411895(CaPaEBR)ebr10933629(CaONFJC)MIL789335(OCoLC)923439704(EXLCZ)99256000000030525120140925h20142014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrIntrepid explorer the autobiography of the world's best mine-finder /J.
