Description:
Because migration studies stretches far beyond immigration enforcement and international border crossings, this collection proposes the "unbordering" of the field. As racially charged, anti-immigrant rhetoric and border security concerns intensify across the hemisphere, Unbordering Migration Studies in the Caribbean and Latin America challenges its authors and readers to renew our focus on the marginalized trajectories, networks, and juxtapositions in Caribbean and Latin American migration experiences.
Review Quotes:
"The moral panic engendered by immigration, globally, is critically and compellingly analyzed and demonstrated to be the product of colonial legacies of white supremacy, racialized hierarchies, and class exploitation (i.e., coloniality), all along the axis of gender. This makes the volume a needed, necessary, and imperative intervention in 'migration studies.'"
