Abstract: This paper examines the Marcha Por La Mujer Migrante, an immigrant rights march held on September 2 in Downtown Los Angeles, with a specific focus on how the march incorporated a gender conscious understanding of immigrant rights issues. Drawing upon interviews with march participants (men and women) and visual documentation, the paper presents the dynamics of gender in the mobilization, the role of women's leadership, and the issues of immigrant women and families that were raised by the march. |

| 2. Cisneros, Josue. "(Re)Making the Immigrant Body: Rhetoric, Materiality, and Social Protest in 'La Gran Marcha' of March 25, 2006" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the NCA 94th Annual Convention, TBA, San Diego, CA, Nov 20, 2008 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-24 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p260372_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript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. |
