Ethnic and Racial Studies: The Undocumented Everday
The Undocumented Everyday examines the exhibition of undocumented migrant self-representation as a political strategy for challenging dominant structures and regimes of state surveillance. It is ultimately a book about immigrant inclusion. Using pictures and videos, it explores how undocumented migrants visualize ways of belonging and deploy documentary media to rearticulate the boundaries of citizenship. A cultural studies scholar, Rebecca Schreiber’s book provides probing insights into the interrelationship of the visual aesthetic – documentary photography, film, video, and audio projects – activism, and the politics of migration.
