    11-2015

    Georgia Southern faculty member, April Schueths co-edited this work.

    Immigration reform remains one of the most contentious issues in the United States today. For mixed status families-families that include both citizens and noncitizens-this is more than a political issue: it's a deeply personal one. Undocumented family members and legal residents lack the rights and benefits of their family members who are US citizens, while family members and legal residents sometimes have their rights compromised by punitive immigration policies based on a strict "citizen/noncitizen" dichotomy.

    This collection of personal narratives and academic essays is the first to focus on the daily ... Read more
