Horton on Immigrant Worker Vulnerability

Published: Dec. 1, 2016

In addition to giving talks on her book at the University of Illinois Chicago, Loyola University, the University of Denver, and the University of North Carolina Wilmington, Associate Professor of Anthropology Sarah Horton published, "From 'Deportability' to 'Denounce-ability': New Forms of Workplace Vulnerability in an Era of Governing Immigration Through Crime" in the Political and Legal Anthropology Review this month. This article presents her research on employers' role in circulating work authorization documents in a farm working community in California's Central Valley to illustrate how the trend towards merging criminal and immigration law deepens immigrant workers' vulnerabilities at work.
