Faced with fewer legalization options, immigrants without legal status and their supporters have organized around the concept of the family as a political subject-a political subject with its rights violated by immigration laws. Drawing upon the idea of the "impossible activism" of undocumented immigrants, Amalia Pallares argues that those without legal status defy this "impossible" context by relying on the politicization of the family to challenge justice within contemporary immigration law. The culmination of a seven-year-long ethnography of undocumented immigrants and their families in Chicago, as well as national immigrant politics, Family Activism examines the three ways in which the family has become politically significant: as a political subject, as a frame for immigrant rights activism, and as a symbol of racial subordination and resistance. By analyzing grassroots campaigns, churches and interfaith coalitions, immigrant rights movements, and immigration legislation, Pallares challenges the traditional familial idea, ultimately reframing the family as a site of political struggle and as a basis for mobilization in immigrant communities. 410 0$aLatinidad. 606 $aImmigrant families$zUnited States 606 $aFamilies$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aImmigrant families$zIllinois$zChicago 606 $aImmigrants$zIllinois$zIllinois$zChicago$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xEmigration and immigration 610 $aimmigrant struggles, politics, family activism, family, noncitizenship. 615 0$aImmigrant families 615 0$aFamilies$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aImmigrant families 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 676 $a325.73 700 $aPallares$b Amalia$f1965-$01713101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819526703321 996 $aFamily activism$94105804 997 $aUNINA
