[Linganth] Reading recommendations 'we' among activists

[Jennifer Guzman]

Dear Duff,

Although it is not specific to your question about research on use of 'we'
among activists, your student may find the following articles useful. In
them, my colleague and I report on our own ethnographic research with some
of the activists who were involved in the same NYS campaign for driver's
license access.

2020 Medeiros MA and JR Guzmán. Im/migrant Farmworker Deportability Fears
and Mental Health in the Trump Era: A Study of Polimigra and Contramigra in
New York State. Culture, Agriculture, Food, and Environment 42(2):103-113.

2020 Guzmán, JR and MA Medeiros. Damned If You Drive, Damned If You Don’t:
Meso-level Policy and Im/migrant Farmworker Tactics under a Regime of
Immobility. Human Organization 79(2):130-139.

Driver’s Licenses to Prevent Family Separation. Practicing Anthropology

>        Thank you for your collective wisdom! Tonight, I'm wondering if you

> English and similar forms in Spanish) among activists. This is for someone
> who's writing about a coalition that (successfully!) organized to persuade
> the New York state legislature to allow drivers licenses for undocumented
> migrants. The coalition's members made effective use of "we" in
> articulating the alliance that held them together, and it would be good to
> read sources that consider this issue. Again, *thank you* for any
