Structured Luck: Downstream Effects of the U.S. Diversity Visa Program 

Structured Luck: Downstream Effects of the U.S. Diversity Visa Program 

How do immigration policies from economically advantaged countries affect people in less advantaged countries and the immigrants who come in with these policies? Structured Luck takes us on a transnational journey to explore the societal, personal, and political implications of the US Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, a US immigration policy that is an annual economic and cultural event in many economically disadvantaged countries. It illuminates the trauma, resilience, determination, and mobility of immigrants who come to the U.S. through the DV program and closes with a call for the U.S. and other economically advantaged countries to develop policies that will better integrate their immigrants into society.
