'Drawing Deportation: Art and Resistance among Immigrant Children'

Join ASU alumna and scholar Silvia Rodriguez, who will present on her book "Drawing Deportation: Art and Resistance among Immigrant Children" at ASU Polytechnic campus.

Rodriguez's book, published in February by NYU Press, is a much-anticipated work detailing ethnographic fieldwork with immigrant children and mixed-status families, documenting Arizona's anti-immigrant climate during legislation like SB1070. The book talk is hosted by the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Humanities and Communication in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts.
