Their Mere Existence Is Resistance: Undocu/DACAmented Collegians' Resisting Subordination in Turbulent Times
Santa-Ramirez, Stephen
Review of Higher Education, v46 n2 p209-247 Win 2022
This critical ethnography examines the resistance efforts of undocu/DACAmented collegians during the Trump campaign and presidency era (2015-2021). Guided by the matrix of resistance, this study sought to highlight the various methods and intentions these collegians use to resist subordination amidst an anti-im/migrant sociopolitical climate. Findings reveal how their efforts are demonstrated via: (1) participation in civic engagement in local and national advocacy organizations; (2) protests against border patrol agents' presence on campus; (3) coming out with their liminal legal status; and (4) their professional aspirations. Exigent recommendations are offered for higher education institutional agents at all levels.
