The reading group meets virtually on the last Friday of every month
from 1-2 East Coast time (US EST).

Blurb of Alejandro Paz's book:
/Latinos in Israel/charts the unexpected ways that non-citizen
immigrants become potential citizens. In the late 1980s Latin Americans
of Christian background started arriving in Israel as labor migrants.
Alejandro Paz examines the ways they perceived themselves and were
perceived as potential citizens during an unexpected campaign for
citizenship in the mid-2000s. This ethnographic account describes the
problem of citizenship as it unfolds through language and language use
among these Latinos both at home and in public life, and considers the
different ways by which Latinos were recognized as having some of the
qualities of citizens. Paz explains how unauthorized labor migrants
quickly gained certain limited rights, such as the right to attend
public schools or the right to work. Ultimately engaging Israelis across
many such contexts, Latinos, especially youth, gained recognition as
citizens to Israeli public opinion and governing politics. Paz
illustrates how language use and mediatized interaction are
under-appreciated aspects of the politics of immigration, citizenship,
and national belonging.
