This important book will surely support the societal inclusion of undocumented immigrants by illuminating and interfering in the inequalities of laws and policies."---Oscar R. Cornejo Casares, Law & Society Review "Engage and Evade is an interdisciplinary study at the intersection of sociology, political science and law, which makes a significant contribution to the fields of migration and surveillance studies."---P. Arun, International Migration Review "Engage and Evade, a thought-provoking study of how undocumented immigrants contend with surveillance, sheds light on why the vast majority of undocumented immigrants follow the law: they were also law-abiding in their home countries and now seek social inclusion in the United States, where they are making a life for their families. . . . Engage and Evade is sociology at its finest."---Richard Mora, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity "Asad challenges the conventional notion that undocumented immigrants in the United States hide in the shadows, fearful of all forms of institutional authority. Rather, he persuasively argues, many engage selectively and rationally with both law enforcement and service institutions such as schools, hospitals and health clinics, and organizations that provide social assistance."---Richard Feinberg, Foreign Affairs "[ A]dmirable is Asads intimate familiarity with the narratives, sentiments, and aspirations Latino immigrants express as they make [ a] life in the United States"---Aaron Arredondo, Ethnic and Racial Studies "Beyond portraying immigrants in the workplace as workers or households as parents alone, Asad explores what it means to be wholly human . . . In [ Engage and Evade], it is beautiful to see immigrants subjectivities centralized in the analysis of their everyday decisions and behaviors related to institutional interactions. . . . [ A] must-read."---Stephanie Canizales, Social Forces  "Engage and Evade is a beautifully written study . . . [ and] an incredible contribution to scholarship on immigration and surveillance as it provides the nuance and complexity of the ways people who live in fear of surveillance are forced to navigate it."---Saher Selod, Contemporary Sociology "[ Engage and Evades] account of the US immigration policies and structure helps to place the intricacies of the US immigration policies in a more historical, cultural, political and social context that gives us a better opportunity to question our common knowledge of the interactions between migrants and the system."---Meghan Geist, Migration & Development "A comprehensive framework. . . . [ Asad] tells a convincing, important, and desire-centered story . . . of how these immigrants balance their often-conflicting identities as undocumented immigrants, workers, and parents."---Emma M. Lezberg, Sociological Forum "Asad L. Asad makes a thought-provoking scholarly intervention that challenges what scholars and researchers know about surveillance as it relates to undocumented immigrants. . . . [ A]ccessible, well structured, and theoretically rich."---Yalidy Matos, Perspective on Politics "Engage and Evade is a remarkable book both for its subject matter and for the scope and depth of the research. The writing is approachable and compelling. . . . [ I]n a moment of contentious politics related to immigration, Asad offers a complex portrait of daily life for undocumented immigrants and their families, making the book crucial reading for both sociologists and the general public."---Edelina Burciaga, American Journal of Sociology
