  activism?! - Knowledge production\, education and action in social moveme
 nt contexts“\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nMigrant and immigrant workers and commun
 ities worldwide have long organized against exploitation and oppression. I
  argue that in order to understand the contemporary politics of migration\
 , we should engage with the knowledge produced in activism and organizing 
 in which people come together to try to address the roots of the problems 
 they face\, build solidarity\, and act collectively to confront injustice.
  Understanding all knowledge to be political\, I argue for politically com
 mitted\, rigorous research which is in dialogue with\, relevant to\, and w
 hich explicitly serves people’s struggles for immigration justice and agai
 nst racism and all forms of exploitation.\n\nAziz Choudry is Associate Pro
