Learn more at www.luminosoa.org.Of Love and Papers explores how immigration policies are fundamentally reshaping Latino families. Drawing on two waves of interviews with undocumented young adults, Enriquez investigates how immigration status creeps into the most personal aspects of everyday life, intersecting with gender to constrain family formation. The imprint of illegality remains, even upon obtaining DACA or permanent residency. Interweaving the perspectives of US citizen romantic partners and children, Enriquez illustrates the multigenerational punishment that limits the upward mobility of Latino families. Of Love and Papers sparks an intimate understanding of contemporary US immigration policies and their enduring consequences for immigrant families.Hispanic AmericansFamily relationshipsUnited StatesCase studiesNoncitizensFamily relationshipsUnited StatesCase studiesIllegal immigrationUnited StatesMan-woman relationshipsUnited StatesCase studiesSOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigrationbisacshamnesty.children of immigrants.citizen children.citizen partners.daca.dating.documentation.families.family formation.green card marriage.green card.illegal immigrants.illegality.immigrant children.immigrants.immigration policy.immigration status.latina.latino.latinx.legalization.love.marriage.milestones.mixed status couple.nisei.nonfiction.parenting.path to citizenship.politics.public policy.relationships.romance.sexuality.undocumented children.undocumented immigrants.Hispanic AmericansFamily relationshipsNoncitizensFamily relationshipsIllegal immigrationMan-woman relationshipsSOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration.306.70973Enriquez Laura E.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1076612DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996352544103316Of love and papers2587576UNISA
