*UNLOCKED* Liminal Legality
Manage episode 302794595 series 1448311
On this *UNLOCKED* patreon episode, Yvette interviews UCLA Professor of Chicano/a Studies Leisy Abrego to discuss her book “Sacrificing Families: Navigating Laws, Labor, and Love Across Borders," where she unpacks emotional and economic inequalities between transnational families. As a Salvadoreña herself, Leisy shares how focusing on Salvadoran migration disrupts the narrative of single men cyclically migrating for seasonal work as Salvadoran women have historically migrated in equal numbers to men; how children experience parental separation on a specific visceral emotional level; and how the precarity and failures of Temporary Protected Status affected transnational parent/child relationships.
