Mobilizing for Immigrants? Rights Online: Creating Symbols of Belonging to the ?American? Nation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

It?s no secret that being an immigrant, especially an unauthorized immigrant, is a challenge these days in the United States. Discrimination, marginalization and deportation loom large, and comprehensive and fair immigration policy seems an elusive goal.In response, the immigrants? rights movement increasingly mobilizes online. Among these cyberactivists? primary tools are symbolic representations of immigrants belonging to the ?American? nation, more specifically its civil sphere, the moral universe where battles for inclusion take place. Concrete symbols of family, hard work and community coexist with more abstract representations of ?American? national ideals such as equality, fairness and opportunity. Utilizing a cultural sociological perspective,I examine the ways in which the immigrants? rights movement uses such symbols to perform national identity online. In particular, I employ the tools of the Strong Program, as articulated by Jeffrey Alexander and Philip Smith, among other
