About the Book

"Un apasionado y bien argumentado llamado al cambio... Chomsky expone hábilmente qué tan brutal puede ser la vida de un indocumentado". -The New York Times Los inmigrantes ilegales en Estados Unidos, provenientes de México y Centroamérica, se han convertido en verdaderos refugiados de la guerra fronteriza. Su estatus legal, cambiante de Estado a Estado y de presidencia a presidencia, ha creado un caos migratorio que no permite resolver el debate pendiente más importante de nuestros tiempos: ¿cómo documentar la vida de los indocumentados? En este brillante trabajo, la activista de derechos humanos Aviva Chomsky muestra cómo la ilegalidad y la indocumentación son conceptos creados exclusivamente para excluir y explotar. A través de un repaso por la historia de la migración hacia Estados Unidos -desde el Programa Bracero, iniciado en la década de 1940, hasta la Ley dreamer, impulsada por el presidente Barack Obama-, esta obra cuestiona la noción contemporánea de ilegalidad, muestra por qué se ha convertido en un hecho socialmente aceptado y devela su naturaleza compleja, inconsistente y profundamente discriminatoria. Exponiendo la estrecha relación entre la discriminación racial a los negros bajo las leyes de Jim Crow y la discriminación a los inmigrantes latinoamericanos hoy en día, y recurriendo al drama humano que representa cada cruce por la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos, Indocumentados plantea preguntas que no pueden escapar a la crisis humanitaria que crece día a día para demostrar que la ley migratoria está fuera de sintonía con la realidad de una economía que depende de los 50 millones de inmigrantes no autorizados.
