The state-civil society relationship to migration policy is an area
both largely unexplored and little understood in current scholarly
literature. Laura Gonzalez-Murphy offers a timely analysis of the
changing role played by civil society in the formulation and
implementation of government policies in general and migration
policy in particular. Using Mexico as her primary case study
because of the recent impact of immigrants on its legislation and
the historical evolution of its institutions, Gonzalez-Murphy
details the ways that civil society has become a participant in
immigration policy changes, including Mexico's new migration law.
Mexico's experience is also closely compared with countries
presently experiencing similar immigration and political dynamics,
such as Spain and Italy. The extensive interviews with Mexican
civil society actors and government officials that Gonzalez-Murphy
has conducted during the last few years enable her thorough
understanding of the state-civil society relationship in Mexico.
The book closes with an examination of what the Mexican experience
contributes to our understanding of the actors, processes, issues,
and obstacles involved in migration policy development. Protecting
Immigrant Rights in Mexico will offer scholars as well as policy
makers and civil society actors a greater understanding of the
domestic and international political issues and constraints that
shape immigration policy making and its implementation.

Honorable Mention, Exhibition Catalogues - 2014 AAM Museum
Publications Design Competition While photographs have been
exchanged, appropriated, and mobilized in different contexts since
the 19th century, their movement is now occurring at an
unprecedented speed. The Itinerant Languages of Photography
examines photography's capacity to circulate across time and space
as well as across other media, such as art, literature, and cinema.
Taking its point of departure from Latin American and Spanish
photographic archives, the volume offers an alternative history of
photography by focusing on the transnational dimension of
technological traffic and image production at a time when
photography is at the center of current debates on the role of
representation, authorship, and reception in a global contemporary
culture. Featuring a wide-range of photographs-images that converse
across temporal, political, and cultural boundaries by artists such
as Lola and Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marcelo
Brodsky, Joan Colom, Marc Ferrez, and Joan Fontcuberta-the book
argues that the photographic image comes into being only as a
consequence of reproduction, displacement, and itinerancy.
