这些移民没有获得宪法权利。今天的移民辩论只是一个关于种族和公民身份以及谁“值得”被算作一个人的数百年历史的对话的延续。罗德里格斯的工作把这个当代对话在其历史背景下，使她的工作与学者，学生和政治活动家的重要影响及时专著。在本书的开头，罗德里格斯的理论论证和方法论方法缺乏清晰度。然而，根据她的结论，罗德里格斯的理论和政治贡献是显而易见的，其当代重要性是明确无误的。在自由女神的阴影中，通过展示历史和当代移民辩论中种族的集中化，推动了移民理论的发展。此外，罗德里格斯还说明了试图解决看似不可逾越的历史趋势的活动家如何通过地方政治行动做到这一点。罗德里格斯并不羞于自己的政治参与。事实上，她明确了自己的角色，包括自己的缺点，特别是社会运动。她的诚实令人耳目一新，但它也有助于阐明种族结构如何可以具体化，即使个人有最好的意图。解决种族不平等问题需要不断反思自己和他人立场的各种联盟。罗德里格斯的例子证明了这是如何可能的，以及更重要的是，它如何要求所有居民--奴隶、殖民者和殖民者的后裔--共同努力建立一个更完美的联盟。
these migrants are not granted constitutional rights. Today’s immigration debate is merely a continuation of a centuries-old conversation about race and citizenship and who “deserves” to be counted as a person. Rodriguez’s work puts this contemporary conversation in its historical context, making her work a timely monograph with important implications for scholars, students and political activists. In the beginning of the book, Rodriguez’s theoretical argument and methodological approaches lack clarity. However, by her conclusion, Rodriguez’s theoretical and political contributions are evident and their contemporary importance unmistakable. In Lady Liberty’s Shadow moves theories of immigration forward by demonstrating the centralization of race in historical and contemporary immigration debates. Furthermore, Rodriguez illustrates how activists trying to address seemingly insurmountable historical trends can do so through local political action. Rodriguez is not shy about her own political involvement. In fact, she is explicit about her role, including her own shortcomings, in particular social movements. Her honesty is refreshing, but it also serves to illuminate how racial structures can be reified even when individuals have the best of intentions. Addressing racial inequities requires diverse coalitions that are continually reflexive about their own and others’ positionality. Rodriguez’s example demonstrates how this is possible and how, more importantly, it requires all residents – the descendants of slaves, the colonized and colonizers – to work together towards a more perfect union.
