The Mariel Effect: Deserving Freedom and Other Myths of Exile
This testimonio provides a personal narrative of the overt discrimination endured by Cubans arriving in 1980 and how the term “Marielito” operated to racialize Cubans entering the U.S. during the crisis, thereby distinguishing the newly arrived from previous Cuban exiles who were deemed as more deserving of freedom. This account conveys the ways in which Cubans who were not part of the boatlift, but who instead found themselves in transit to the …
Beyond Freedom's Reach: An Imperfect Centering of Women and Children Caught within Cuba's Long Emancipation and the Afterlife of Slavery
This article examines Cuba's long process of gradual emancipation (from 1868–1886) and the continual states of bondage that categorize the afterlife of Cuban slavery. The article addresses deferred freedom, re-enslavement, and maintenance of legal states of bondage in the midst of “freedom.” It contends with the legacy of the casta system, the contradictions within the Moret Law of 1870, which “half-freed” children but not their mothers, and it a…
When the Decolonial Goes Precolonial: Voices of Ancestors, Revolutions, and Being
This article begins by identifying common frameworks of decolonial and postcolonial approaches while considering the current scholarship's limitations of engagement with those approaches. We believe there is a need to interrupt (neo)colonizing approaches to decoloniality, that is, the limitations of the master's tools. Rather, we offer a mediation that critiques the centering of the colonial. In doing so, we weave into this analysis a series of n…
Genderacing immigrant subjects: Anchor Babies' and the Politics of Birthright Citizenship
Birthright citizenship is often a subject of important national debates on immigration. From a historical perspective, the influx of Mexican and Chinese immigrants to the United Stated has elicited politically charged efforts to deny the right of US citizenship to their children. Based on a review of popular discursive frames concerning the politics of birthright citizenship, this essay identifies and critiques the arguments from both ends of the…

Intersectionality and Social Work: Omissions of Race, Class, and Sexuality in Graduate School Education
In 2008 EPAS Standards on Engaging Diversity and Difference in Practice (2.1.4) added intersectionality (a theory developed by feminist of color) as one aspect to understand diversity, difference, and power in social work curriculum. We consider how intersectionality is omitted in graduate student learning even when class assignments center discussions and theorizations on power. This qualitative study explores student narratives and correspondin…
Spam in the Cuban Ajiaco: An Interview with Alaen Perez
Spam in the Cuban Ajiaco:An Interview with Alaen Pérez Karina L. Céspedes (bio) In 1939, the Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz introduced his ajiaco metaphor, and described the ajiaco as a traditional Cuban stew of ameridian origin that is cooked over a long period by continuously adding new ingredients to the simmering mixture. Like the ingredients of mixed race and culture, additions to the dish maintain their identities to varying degrees; s…
