Geographies of friendship and embodiments of radical violence, collective rage, and radical love at the U.S.–Mexico border’s Paso del Norte region
In this article, we develop a praxis to interpret violence against migrants and border communities in the U.S.–Mexico Paso del Norte borderlands, that is applicable to other global border regions in crisis. We reframe the violence that occurs daily on both sides of the border as a form of 'radical violence' that cuts across racial, gendered, class, interpersonal, and institutional lines, which is also physical, representational, epistemic, and sp…
Haki/pláticas ∼ testimonios/shahadat: Arabyya feminista decolonial praxis
The authors share how their Arabyyat and Chicana feminist pedagogies and methodologies, haki/pláticas ∼ testimonios/shahadat, contribute to a decolonial praxis. We center haki/pláticas ∼ testimonios/shahadat and introduce what we term as “Arabyya feminista decolonial praxis” in education as an act of linguistic and epistemic disobedience. Our work, pedagogies and methodologies, advance the esthetic dimensions of our Arabyya feminista praxis. We d…
Reflections from the U.S.–Mexico borderlands on a “border-rooted” paradigm in higher education
This essay proposes an alternative approach to Latino student success through a “border-rooted” paradigm shift in post-secondary education. A “border-rooted” paradigm reflects the local socio-cultural and historical epistemologies that impact post-secondary education, and how space and place impacts educational settings that serve Latino students

Border rootedness as transformative resistance: Youth overcoming violence and inspection in a US–Mexico border region
This essay addresses Mexican immigrant and children of immigrants' ‘border citizenship’ as they negotiate space, post-secondary education, national citizenship/s and immigration status, and the transgressive aspects of their transnational and transitional identities. As they travel to and from college, these young adults confront surveillance and racism by border reinforcers within an institutional setting and when crossing border inspection poin…
Transnational sexual and gendered violence: An application of border sexual conquest at a Mexico-US border
Drawing on transnational and postcolonial feminism, we discuss the phenomenon of border sexual conquest to highlight structural sexual and gendered violence that is exacerbated by the subjugation of local place and by the global political economy. While we have gained important insights from the literature on gender and transnationalism, the processes of sexual violence and gendered violence are underdeveloped. We focus our analysis on the Mexico…

Las Super Madres de Latino America: Transforming Motherhood by Challenging Violence in Mexico, Argentina, and El Salvador
This essay examines the role Latinas have had in collectively resisting state violence and control through their roles as mothers of desaparecidos, the "disappeared." Although Latinas throughout the Americas are known to be activists in social movements and have protested forms of state control imposed on them as citizens for decades, this role of Latinas as mothers and resisters of state control has not been fully researched. Historically, Latin…
