Based on ten years of work with immigrant children as young as six years old in Arizona and California― and featuring an analysis of three hundred drawings, theater performances and family interviews―Silvia Rodriguez Vega provides accounts of children’s challenges with deportation and family separation during the Obama and Trump administrations. While much of the literature on immigrant children depicts them as passive, when viewed through this lens they appear as agents of their own stories. Silvia Rodriguez Vega presents her new book "Drawing Deportation: Art and Resistance Among Immigrant Children".
