University of California Press's Open Access publishing program.
Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This multidisciplinary
volume brings together experienced expert witnesses and immigration
attorneys to highlight best practices and strategies for giving
expert testimony in asylum cases. As the scale and severity of
violence in Latin America has grown in the last decade, scholars
and attorneys have collaborated to defend the rights of immigrant
women, children, and LGBTQ+ persons who are threatened by
gender-based, sexual, and gang violence in their home countries.
Researchers in anthropology, history, political science, and
sociology have regularly supported the work of immigration lawyers
and contributed to public debates on immigration reform, but the
academy contains untapped scholarly expertise that, guided by the
resources provided in this handbook, can aid asylum seekers and
refugees and promote the fair adjudication of asylum claims in US
courts. As the recent refugee crisis of immigrant mothers and
children and unaccompanied minors has made clear, there is an
urgent need for academics to work with other professionals to build
a legal framework and national network that can respond effectively
to this human rights crisis.
