Through in-depth interviews, observations, and focus groups, these papers detail the multiple implications of criminalization and illegalization for Latinas/os. Emphasis is placed on the experiences of young Latinas, unaccompanied Central American youth, Colombian professional migrants, undocumented college students, and Mexican American women. These empirically rich studies capture the differing manifestations and implications of institutionalized exclusion and outright violence against Latinas/os across class, country of origin, and generation in the U.S. Several of the studies use intersectional approaches, and authors are attentive to how individuals and communities respond to structural barriers. In the context of intensive policing, detention and deportation, these qualitative studies center the voices of some of the communities who are most impacted but whose testimonials are often excluded from contemporary scholarship and public debate.
