Migrant workers live in a transnational world that spans the
boundaries of nation-states. Yet for undocumented workers, this
world is complicated by inflexible immigration policies and the
ever-present threat of enforcement. Workers labeled as "illegals"
wrestle with restrictive immigration policies, evading border
patrol and local police as they risk their lives to achieve
economic stability for their families. For this group of workers,
whose lives in the U.S. are largely defined by their tenuous legal
status, the sacrifices they make to get ahead entail long periods
of waiting, extended separation from family, and above all,
tremendous uncertainty around a freedom that many of us take for
granted-everyday mobility. In Milking in the Shadows, Julie Keller
takes an in-depth look at a population of undocumented migrants
working in the American dairy industry to understand the components
of this labor system. This book offers a framework for
understanding the disjuncture between the labor desired by
employers and life as an undocumented worker in America today.
