In the early 2000s, Arizona's campaign of \"attrition through enforcement\" aimed to make life so miserable for undocumented immigrants that they would \"self-deport.\" Undocumented activists resisted hostile legislation, registered thousands of new Latino voters, and joined a national movement to advance justice for immigrants. Drawing on five years of observation and interviews with activists in Phoenix, Arizona, Kathryn Abrams explains how the practices of storytelling, emotion cultures, and performative citizenship fueled this grassroots movement. Together these practices produced both the \"open hand\" (the affective bonds among participants) and the \"closed fist\" (the pragmatic strategies of resistance) that have allowed the movement to mobilize and sustain itself over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be one-stop shopping for understanding the immigrant rights movement in Arizona, one of the most important states of immigrant battles in the twenty-first century.--Paul Almeida, author of \u003ci\u003eSocial Movements: The Structure of Collective Mobilization\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A rich, qualitative empirical account of how deeply disenfranchised undocumented immigrants were inspired and empowered to form an 'unlikely' movement.\"--Lynette J.
