WEDNESDAY, February 16th
12-1:00pm
The Latin American and Latino Studies Program in collaboration with the Department
of Anthropology and the Rafael Cintron-Ortiz Latino Cultural
Center present: Labor and Legality: An Ethnography of a Mexican Immigrant Network
Presented by Ruth Gomberg-Munoz

Labor and Legality: An Ethnography of a Mexican Immigrant Network looks at
the lives of undocumented immigrants who work as busboys at a Chicago-area
restaurant.  Ruth Gomberg-Munoz introduces readers to the Lions, a group of
friends from Mexico committed to improving their fortunes and the lives of their
families.  Set in and around "Il Vino," a restaurant that could stand in for many
places that employ undocumented workers, Labor and Legality
reveals the faces behind the ward being waged over "illegal aliens" in America.

Ruth Gomberg-Munoz is Adjunct Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University
of Illinois at Chicago.  Her work has been published in American
Anthropologist and the Journal for Latino-Latin American Studies.

Bring your brown bag lunch and  we will provide refreshments.  This event is free
and  open  to the general public.
