This book addresses an issue currently making political headlines in
the United States—immigration. Immigrants have long engendered
debates about the boundaries of belonging, with some singing their
praises and others warning of their dangers. In particular, the 11
million unauthorized immigrants in the country provoke heated
disagreements with issues of legality and morality at the forefront.
Increasingly, such debates take place online, by organizations in the
immigrant rights and the immigration control movements, who engage in
symbolic work that includes blurring, crossing, maintaining,
solidifying, and shifting the boundaries of belonging. Based on data
collected from 29 national-level groups, this book features a cultural
sociological analysis of the online materials deployed by social
movement organizations debating immigration in the United States.
