Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: From March-May of 2006, several million immigrants from around the country engaged in organized protests. This essay examines La Gran Marcha of March 25, 2006, the largest of these demonstrations. I argue that the protest was a material rhetoric in two senses: the protestors' bodies functioned rhetorically and their demonstrations had material effects. I argue that La Gran Marcha functioned to (re)make the immigrant body and the body of immigrants present, concrete, singular, and unruly.
