Undocumented Immigrants in an Era of Arbitrary Law

Meer over het boek

Focusing on personal narratives, this book explores the complexities faced by undocumented immigrants navigating border-crossing within a volatile legal framework. It employs an interdisciplinary approach to highlight how laws and regulations create an unpredictable environment, leading immigrants to perceive the legal context as arbitrary and often absurd. Through these stories, Robert Barsky sheds light on the challenges of translation and interpretation, revealing the emotional and psychological impacts of living in a system that feels both changeable and illusory.
