THE DIPLOMA AND THE TRAFFIC STOP
THE DIPLOMA AND THE TRAFFIC STOP
In Washington State, first-generation Latino and Latina college students move through a system that was not built for them: the university, and the enforcement apparatus that shadows their families.
Resilience combines oral histories from University of Washington students and alumni who identify as Latinx with an analysis of collaboration between local law enforcement and federal immigration agencies, drawing on the work of the UW Center for Human Rights.
The book refuses to separate the success story of going to college from the reality of immigration enforcement: the traffic stop that becomes a deportation proceeding, the parent who misses graduation because the courthouse is too close to the ICE office.
