What does it mean to be a young undocumented immigrant? Current
public debate on undocumented immigration provokes discussion
worldwide, and it is estimated that there are more than 11.1
million undocumented immigrants in the US, yet what it really means
to be an undocumented immigrant appears less explicitly delineated
in the debate. This interdisciplinary volume applies theories from
Media, Cultural, and Literary Studies to investigate how
undocumented immigrant youth in the United States have claimed a
public voice by publishing their video narratives on YouTube. Case
studies show how political protest significantly shapes these
videos as activists narrate and perform their 'dispossession',
redefining their understanding of the mechanisms of immigration in
the Americas, and of home, belonging, and identity. The impact of
the videos is explored as the activists connect them to
Congressional bills and present their activities as a continuation
of the legacy of the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s.
This book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and
students involved in debates on migration, communication, new
media, culture, protest movements and political lobbying.
