{"product_id":"reed-sandoval-socially-undocumented-9780190619800","title":"Socially Undocumented","description":"What does it really mean to be \"undocumented,\" particularly in the contemporary United States? Political philosophers, immigration policy makers, and others have tended to define the term \"undocumented migrant\" legalistically-that is, in terms of lacking legal authorization to live and work in one's current country of residence. In Socially Undocumented, Reed-Sandoval challenges this \"legalistic understanding\" by arguing that being socially undocumented is to possess a real, visible, and embodied social identity that does not always track one's legal status. She further argues that achieving immigration justice in the U.S. (and elsewhere) requires a philosophical understanding of the racialized, class-based, and gendered components of socially undocumented identity and oppression. \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSocially Undocumented offers a new vision of immigration justice by integrating a descriptive and phenomenological account of socially undocumented identity with a normative and political account of how the oppression with which it is associated ought to be dealt with as a matter of social justice. It also addresses concrete ethical challenges such as the question of whether open borders are morally required, the militarization of the Mexico-U.S. border, the perilous journey that many migrants undertake to get to the United States, the difficult experiences of the women who cross U.S. borders seeking prenatal care while pregnant, and more.","brand":"ACADEMIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53771182801238,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/reed-sandoval-socially-undocumented-9780190619800","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
