Racial Frontiers: Hemispheric Logics of Haitians’ Displacement and Asylum in the Americas
While international asylum law includes race as the first protected category—followed by religion, nationality, particular group membership, and political opinion—Haitians’ ongoing racialised persecution and denial of refuge across the Americas reveals the failures of this framework. Drawing on academic literature, documentary evidence, and primary sources, we analyse the racial and neocolonial logics constituting Haitians’ experiences at home an…
Theses on Feminist Protest: A Manifesto
Antiracist, anticapitalist feminist protests are at the forefront of contemporary mass protest in the Americas and beyond. As an interdisciplinary, intergenerational, international collective of feminist activist-intellectuals, we have been engaging with and analyzing contemporary protest since the global uprisings of the 2010s. Few things are bigger in feminism today than mass protest, yet there has been scant theorizing about it. Our manifesto …
Trans-asylum: Sanctioning vulnerability and gender identity across the frontier
While legal and humanitarian discourses underscore Central American trans refugees’ vulnerabilities, individuals are often unable to access rights and protection. In this article, I address this seeming paradox by analyzing how trans asylum seekers navigate and at times contest vulnerability discourses framing deservingness of asylum. Based on interview data and longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork, I discuss continuities of trans asylum seekers’ …

Contributors offer a wide range of cases, concepts, and critiques that chart rich theoret…
Trans-migrations: Agency and Confinement at the Limits of Sovereignty
Intersectional analyses of gender, sexuality, and migrations have been central to feminist and queer theorizations of the state in historical perspective. In the twenty-first century, mounting deportations and mass incarceration-mostly of brown and black men-have elicited growing scholarly concern about the intersections of gender, race, and increased state coercive power under neoliberalism, including the emerging field of detention studies. How…
