Description: The contributors to Paper Trails examine migrants' relationship to the state through requirements to obtain identification documents in order to get legal status.
Review Quotes: "Offering a unique way to think about the materiality of immigrant life and the ways that papers shape migrants' identities, experiences, rights, and sense of belonging, this volume tells a compelling story about the need to center documents in the study of international migration."--Leisy J. Abrego, coeditor of "We Are Not Dreamers: Undocumented Scholars Theorize Undocumented Life in the United States"
