Political philosophers, immigration policy makers, and others have tended to define the term \"undocumented migrant\" legalistically-that is, in terms of lacking legal authorization to live and work in one's current country of residence. In \u003cem\u003eSocially Undocumented\u003c\/em\u003e, Reed-Sandoval challenges this \"legalistic understanding\" by arguing that being socially undocumented is to possess a real, visible, and embodied social identity that does not always track one's legal status. She further argues that achieving immigration justice in the U.S. (and elsewhere) requires a philosophical understanding of the racialized, class-based, and gendered components of socially undocumented identity and oppression. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eSocially Undocumented\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new vision of immigration justice by integrating a descriptive and phenomenological account of socially undocumented identity with a normative and political account of how the oppression with which it is associated ought to be dealt with as a matter of social justice. It also addresses concrete ethical challenges such as the question of whether open borders are morally required, the militarization of the Mexico-U.S. border, the perilous journey that many migrants undertake to get to the United States, the difficult experiences of the women who cross U.S. borders seeking prenatal care while pregnant, and more.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46419064979607,"sku":"9780190619817","price":3662.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190619817.webp?v=1769073053","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/socially-undocumented-identity-and-immigration-justice-9780190619817","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
