The Violence of Absence
“Sí no hay cuerpo no hay delito.” If there is no body, there is no crime. Thinking about crude impunity, as war and conflict rage across the world, has made writing this note quite difficult. The g
Shock Mobilities During Moments of Acute Uncertainty
The COVID-19 pandemic and interventions addressing it raise important questions about human mobility that have geopolitical implications. This forum uses mobility and immobility during the pandemic as lenses onto the ways that routinised state power reacts to acute uncertainties, as well as how these reactions impact politics and societies. Specifically, we propose the concept of “shock mobility” as migratory routines radically reconfigured: emer…
Vital minimums: El Salvador between youth and old age
How to Read Equipo Maíz
This article examines the work of the popular education collective Equipo Maíz headquartered in El Salvador. Equipo Maíz is noteworthy for its contributions to the analysis of Salvadoran and Central American politics, economics, and society since its formation in the early 1980s. This article situates the Equipo Maíz project, which uses plainspoken text paired with political cartooning, within a deep historical memory of opposition geared at demy…
Waterproofing the State: Migration, River-Borders, and Ecologies of Control
Transboundary waters serve critical bordering functions and are often obstacles for migrants transiting throughout the globe. This article focuses on migrant encounters with Mesoamerican river-borders, as highlighted in recent media images of river crossings – from individuals to migrant caravans – that show how people use waterbodies to evade state capture. Analysing widely circulated images of migrant death at the Rio Grande (US–Mexico) and the…

Elimination/Deracination: Colonial Terror, La Matanza, and the 1930s Race Laws in El Salvador
This article explores the long arc of colonial terror in 1930s El Salvador through the establishing of Race Laws that both expelled and prohibited the migration of visibly African-descended peoples into the country whilst the state embarked on the systematic murdering of indigenous peoples as part of an anti-communist crusade. This essay investigates the effect of the Race Laws and 1932s La Matanza massacre of indigenous bodies through a settler …

Latin America, football and the Japanese diaspora
It is much less of a novelty today that Asian footballers play amongst the best in Europe’s top flight. Some footballers, however, have had career paths through equally important clubs in Latin America like Santos, Guaraní and Pachuca. Due to different social and political dynamics of Latin American culture and their relationship to waves of Asian immigration, the presence of Asian players in Latin American football speaks to the unique history o…
