Undocumented Motherhood
Conversations on Love, Trauma, and Border CrossingA beautiful gift of intimate, vulnerable, and compassionate ethnography where women's voices leap from the page, speaking truth to power boldly and deeply. - Ruth Behar, author of The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart Farfan-Santos is a beautiful storyteller who weaves together two dynamic transborder migration stories to reveal how undocumented mothers navigate unjust state systems. Fear and sacrifice shape the maternal experience highlighted in this book but so do love, commitment, comadrazgo, and radical aguante. An important book for all readers to understand how immigration policy deeply impacts the everyday existence and mobility of families on either side of the US/Mexico border. - Michelle Téllez, University of Arizona, author of Border Women and the Community of Maclovio Rojas A compassionate study...FarfÁn-Santos movingly describes how the Latinx community comes together to help their own and makes a powerful case that the traumas of migration manifest themselves in the bodies of immigrants. This is a stirring portrait of pain and perseverance. (Publishers Weekly) Through a polyphonic chorus of testimonios, a fluid dance between Spanish and English, and an expressive collection of contour portraits, FarfÁn-Santos relays the story of Claudia Garcia, an undocumented mother from Mexico, who fights tooth and nail to advocate for her daughter...One of the defining features of Undocumented Motherhood is how lovingly it's assembled...the care and respect [FarfÁn-Santos] has for the women she interviews shines through like warm light from a busy kitchen. (Sightlines) FarfÁn-Santos gives readers an intimate view of life as an undocumented immigrant mother of young children in the US. At the same time, the book illuminates the often unseen breadth of maternal labor. The book celebrates maternal strength, focusing on one dauntless mother named Claudia, while also asking about the cost of that strength, the price mothers pay for their resilience. (Literary Mama) Undocumented Motherhood is a piercing ethnography about the struggles and strength of undocumented mothers from Mexico in the United States…FarfÁn-Santos’s unorthodox approach, vivid writing, and strong voice are what make this ethnography truly extraordinary, salient, and palpable. (American Ethnologist) Ultimately FarfÁn-Santos’s work serves as a challenge to the anthropological discipline as it is more methodologically whole than most human investigations. Her work aims to tackle the ways in which the geopolitical border between the US and Mexico hinders motherhood and children for generations. Her work demands a forceful reexamination of undocumented motherhood-an often overlooked, hyper-criticized and judged, and ultimately politicized experience that she states is the experience of millions of women in the US and is largely missing from the literature on parenting. (E3W) FarfÁn-Santos's research and analysis builds a case for the role of motherhood as essential to understanding the intersectionality of undocumented women . . . The main lesson that the book brings, then, is that while motherhood is critical to the intersectionality of undocumented women who mother, it is mothers who take care of other mothers, or as FarfÁn-Santos puts it, women who take care of other women.

Black Bodies, Black Rights
The Politics of Quilombolismo in Contemporary Brazil"[A] brilliantly researched and argued book…a much-needed investigation of the differences between how state actors understand ideas of black land rights and how an Afro-Brazilian community effectively makes space on their own terms and in the process maintains a centuries-long commitment to sustaining themselves amidst racialized poverty." (AAG Review of Books) "Black Bodies, Black Rights is…a case study of bureaucracy, race, power, and wealth in contemporary Brazil. For anyone who wants an illuminating look at these phenomena at the grass-roots level, this is the book to read." (Bulletin of Latin American Research)
