Migration is a social process that is constantly present in our daily lives. Newspapers, television, and other media are constantly addressing migration and undocumented migration as an economic problem and a matter of national security.
Beyond the transgressions of national borders, laws, and legislations, do we really understand undocumented migration? Why do people migrate, challenge migration legislation, and risk their lives? What can we learn from the experiences of immigrants and the fictional narratives of migration? How could we challenge the official discourse on undocumented migration from academia?
This presentation is based on my research and research experience of studying the undocumented Salvadoran and Dominican migration to the United States from the late 20th century to the present. I intend to draw attention to understudied literary, visual, and corporal representations that allude to, depict, and narrate the journey and experience of undocumented migration through the creation of a cultural field called “The Undocumented Archipelago.”
