Illustrates how the children of immigrants use art to grapple with
issues of citizenship, state violence, and belonging Young
immigrant children often do not have the words to express how their
lives are shaped by issues of immigration, legal status, and
state-sanctioned violence. Yet they are able to communicate its
effects on them using art. Based on ten years of work with
immigrant children as young as six years old in Arizona and
California— and featuring an analysis of three hundred drawings,
theater performances, and family interviews—Silvia Rodriguez Vega
provides accounts of children’s challenges with deportation and
family separation during the Obama and Trump administrations. While
much of the literature on immigrant children depicts them as
passive, when viewed through this lens they appear as agents of
their own stories. The volume provides key insights into how
immigrant children in both states presented creative,
out-of-the-box, powerful solutions to the dilemmas that
anti-immigrant rhetoric and harsh immigration laws present. Through
art, they demonstrated a righteous indignation against societal
violence, dehumanization, and death as a tool for navigating a
racist, anti-immigrant society. When children are the agents of
their own stories, they can reimagine destructive situations in
ways that adults sometimes cannot, offering us alternatives and
hope for a better future. At once devastating and revelatory,
Drawing Deportation provides a roadmap for how art can provide a
safe and necessary space for vulnerable populations to assert their
humanity in a world that would rather divest them of it.
