Explores the power of faith to drive resistance to anti-immigration
policies in the United States God’s Resistance chronicles the
work of faith-based activists who have mobilized to counter the
effects of mass detention and deportation. Focusing on Southern
California, home to a large undocumented population, the authors
examine which strategies have been most effective, as well as the
obstacles that faith presents to organizing effectively. In-depth
interviews with over forty activists, leaders of congregations, lay
participants, and immigrants allow us to hear at first hand the
challenges and occasional triumphs of this work. The authors show
how faith-based organizations have a distinctive set of advantages
to leverage in social movements that are often overlooked and
underappreciated by secular activist organizations, but they also
face particular challenges that can hinder their effectiveness. The
volume offers insights into how these advantages can be maximized,
and how the obstacles can be overcome. The powerful testimony from
asylum seekers and detained immigrants found in these pages, along
with the concrete examples of effective strategies, are
indispensable for anyone invested in the fight to recognize the
humanity of one of the nation’s most vulnerable populations.
