The Illusion of Choice: Governing Suffering in West African Migration to Morocco
This article argues that migration governance increasingly operates through the illusion of choice; a logic that shifts responsibility onto migrants while obscuring the structural forces driving mobility. Based on 36 narrative interviews with West and Central African migrants in Morocco, it shows that suffering is not incidental but central to migration governance. Using feminist political economy and intersectional analysis, it theorizes “govern…
Chasing scorpions across North Africa: Ethical reflections on life story research with Sub-Saharan migrants
In this Research Note, two researchers present their reflections on the ethical challenges they encountered while collecting life stories of sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco and the Disputed Territory of Western Sahara. The reflections are based on field notes and excerpts from unedited transcripts of daily debriefing sessions that the researchers undertook together. The sessions were audio-recorded and transcribed into written notes. The material…
Mémoire collective, mésomémoire et caprification mémorielle dans Hotaru d’Aki Shimazaki
Cette étude se concentre sur Hutaru, cinquième volet de la saga Le poids du secret, écrit par l’écrivaine québécoise d’origine japonaise Aki Shimazaki. Le roman explore la thématique du traumatisme intergénérationnel. Pour libérer la mémoire des chaînes de l’amnésie, la narration prend la forme d’une caprification, un procédé propre à la botanique que l’auteure utilise pour établir des connexions mnémoniques et combler les vides laissés par l’oub…
The tightrope of transit and containment: A comparative scoping review of international migration to Chiapas and the Canary Islands (1991-2021)
This comparative scoping review presents two cases widely considered as spaces of transit: the state of Chiapas, Mexico, and the Canary Islands archipelago, Spain. Following sampling and screening, 92 records from academic literature were included in this review. We found that this body of mostly descriptive research has largely focused on changes in migration policy, migrant routes, and border enforcement. In this, we have found a striking compa…

Since the early twentieth century, technological transfers from the United States to Latin American countries have involved technologies of violence for social control. As the chapters in this book illustrate, these technological transfers have taken various forms, including the training of Latin American military personnel in surveillance and torture and the provision of political and logistic support for campaigns of state terror. The human cos…
