Terminology Used to Describe Human Variation in Forensic Anthropology
To understand the implications of the forensic anthropological practice of “ancestry” estimation, we explore terminology that has been employed in forensic anthropological research. The goal is to evaluate how such terms can often circulate within social contexts as a result, which may center forensic anthropologists as constituting “race” itself through analysis and categorization. This research evaluates terminology used in anthropological arti…
Illegal Encounters: The Effect of Detention and Deportation on Young People
Returned: Going and Coming in an Age of Deportation
Returned follows transnational Mexicans as they experience the alienation and unpredictability of deportation, tracing the particular ways that U.S. immigration policies and state removals affect families. Deportation—an emergent global order of social injustice—reaches far beyond the individual deportee, as family members with diverse U.S. immigration statuses, including U.S. citizens, also return after deportation or migrate for the first time.…
Separated Families: Barriers to Family Reunification After Deportation
This paper outlines the complexities — and unlikelihood — of keeping\nfamilies together when facing, or in the aftermath of deportation. After\ndiscussing the context that limits or prevents reunification among\nimmigrant families more generally, I outline several of the particular\nways that families are divided when a member is deported. Drawing on\ncase studies from longitudinal ethnographic research in Mexico and the\nUnited States, I describ…

Intimate Migrations: Gender, Family, and Illegality among Transnational Mexicans
In her research with transnational Mexicans, the author has often asked individuals: if there were no barriers to your movement between Mexico and the United States, where would you choose to live? Almost always, they desire the freedom to “come and go.” Yet the barriers preventing such movement are many. Because of the United States' rigid immigration policies, Mexican immigrants often find themselves living long distances from family members an…

US-Mexico Mixed Migration in an Age of Deportation: An Inquiry into the Transnational Circulation of Violence
This article considers diverse migrations from Mexico to the United States, driven by a range of factors, in the context of violence that circulates transnationally. Throughout Mexico violence and kidnappings, increasingly targeted at migrants or their family members, are motivating increased or new flows to the north. Meanwhile, in the United States, nativism is fostering anti-immigrant policies and practices – also framed by violence – aimed at…
Deseos y Dolores: Mapping Desire, Suffering, and (Dis)loyalty within Transnational Partnerships
This piece considers the deseos -- wants, desires, needs -- and dolores -- pain or sorrow -- of individuals in US-Mexico transnational partnerships. For transnational Mexicans, “desire” manifests as diverse, even contradictory, expressions of emotion. Migration is intertwined with multiple desires within intimate relationships, but is also tied to suffering across borders. Conflicting articulations of deseos y dolores reveal gender politics as we…
Theater in a Crowded Fire: Ritual and Spirituality at Burning Man by Lee Gilmore
For My Children: Constructing Family and Navigating the State in the U.S.-Mexico Transnation
Transnational children—ranging from infants to teenagers—reside in, and migrate to and from, both Mexico and the United States. This paper considers this understudied population, the youngest members of Mexican migrant communities, to understand shifting configurations of kinship in a transnational space. By focusing on transnational families with ties to San Luis Potosí and several locales in the U.S. Southwest, I study the everyday experiences …
Engendering Mexican Migration: Articulating Gender, Regions, Circuits
Now I Am a Man and a Woman: Gendered Moves and Migrations in a Transnational Mexican Community
Scholars have suggested that migration from Mexico to the United States benefits women by challenging often rigid gender norms. The results of ethnographic field research in San Luis Potosí and New Mexico complicate this view. Here migration results in a complex interplay between males and females-a series of negotiations through which women exercise increased autonomy in some circumstances but also face the reassertion of male dominance and in w…
The Safety Net of the Safety Net: How Federally Qualified Health Centers "Subsidize" Medicaid Managed Care
In this article, I examine the impact of neoliberalism and welfare reform on the delivery of Medicaid, specifically how the advent of Medicaid managed care (MMC) has been wrought with contradictions, placing increased burdens on primary safety-net organizations and impacting the many communities they serve. I argue that federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) operate as a primary safety net among safety-net providers, supporting and subsidizin…
