A recent impasse over funding a wall caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, sharpening partisan divisions across the nation. But groups of predominantly white American citizens have been mobilizing in the Arizona borderlands for decades. Some help undocumented immigrants bypass governmental detection, while others help law enforcement agents to apprehend immigrants. Activists on both the left and right mobilize without an immediate personal connection to the issue at hand, many doubting that their actions can bring about the long-term change they desire. Why, then, do they engage in immigration and border politics so passionately? Divided by the Wall offers a one-of-a-kind comparative study of progressive pro-immigrant activists and their conservative immigration restrictionist opponents. Using twenty months of ethnographic research with five grassroots organizations, Emine Fidan Elcioglu shows how immigration politics has become a substitute for struggles around class inequality among white Americans. She demonstrates how activists mobilized not only to change the rules of immigration but also to experience a change in themselves. Elcioglu finds that the variation in social class and intersectional identity across the two sides mapped onto disparate concerns about state power. As activists strategized ways to transform the scope of the state's power, they also tried to carve out self-transformative roles for themselves. Provocative and even-handed, Divided by the Wall challenges our understanding of immigration politics in times of growing inequality and insecurity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Borderlands $z United States. 650 0 $a Borderlands $z Mexico. 651 0 $a United States $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $x Emigration and immigration. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Mexico. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Foreign relations $z United States. 650 7 $a Borderlands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01723579 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908690 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a North America $z Mexican-American Border Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239966 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11932500 $a Emigration et immigration $z Mexique. $0 (FrPBN)11932500 $z Mexique. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11931371 $a Emigration et immigration $x Politique publique $0 (FrPBN)11931371 $z Etats-Unis. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)12256619 $a Emigration et immigration $0 (FrPBN)12256619 $z Region frontaliere americano-mexicaine. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)12010818 $a Frontieres $z Mexique. $z Mexique. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11932500 $a Relations exterieures $z Mexique. $0 (FrPBN)11932500 $z Mexique. $2 ram 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020012331.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5FDAE92CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
