Caught between violent partners and the bureaucratic complications
of the US Immigration system, many immigrant women are particularly
vulnerable to abuse. For two years, Roberta Villalon volunteered at
a nonprofit group that offers free legal services to mostly
undocumented immigrants who had been victims of abuse. Her
innovative study of Latina survivors of domestic violence explores
the complexities at the intersection of immigration, citizenship,
and violence, and shows how inequality is perpetuated even through
the well-intentioned delivery of vital services. Through archival
research, participant observation, and personal interviews,
Violence Against Latina Immigrants provides insight into the many
obstacles faced by battered immigrant women of color, bringing
their stories and voices to the fore. Ultimately, Villalon proposes
an active policy advocacy agenda and suggests possible changes to
gender violence-based immigration laws, revealing the complexities
of the lives of Latina immigrants as they confront issues of
citizenship, gender violence, and social inequalities.
