| Summary |
Drawing upon in-depth interviews with young adult children of Brazilian immigrants, Cebulko finds that legal status, like race, class and gender, acts as a form of social stratification. Legal status, however, involves multiple categories, including grey areas in-between fully 'legal' and 'illegal.' Undocumented, liminally legal, lawful permanent residents, and citizens each live with a different set of rights and level of precariousness. These impact not only their economic opportunities, but also the social dynamics of Brazilian youth's transition into adulthood. Cebulko's work will be of in. |
