description Recently, harsh immigration policies have made the lives of the new immigrant Diaspora in the southeastern United States extremely challenging.

We examine two theoretical perspectives that can support educators in talking back and acting against anti-immigration discourses and practices in schools and communities. We provide cases of our own work in the southeastern United States to test the value of these theories
