Drawing inspiration from t…
Precarity and Belonging: Labor, Migration, and Noncitizenship
Precarity and Belonging examines how the movement of people and their incorporation, marginalization, and exclusion, under epochal conditions of labor and social precarity affecting both citizens and noncitizens, have challenged older notions of citizenship and alienage.

Th…

Mestiza Double Consciousness: The Voices of Afro-Peruvian Women on Gendered Racism

Du Bois's 'double consciousness' (1903/1982) and Gloria Anzaldúa's 'mestiza consciousness' (1989) to analyze the experiences of three Afro-Peruvian women. The merging of double and mestiza consciousness is necessary to holistically understand how gendered racism shapes their lives and why they have a desire to forge transnational solidarity with other women in the African Diaspora of t…
