Narrative Breakdown in the Political Asylum Process
The narratives that political asylum applicants tell in immigration hearings are often fragmentary, in part because people fleeing violence and discrimination are not always knowledgeable about the details of their persecution. We discuss the particular problem of narrating unanticipated events, experiences that have no precedent in people’s ordinary lives before violence. Building on earlier research on narrative coherence and trauma narrative, …
Political Asylum Deceptions
Gender and cultural silences in the political asylum process
Individuals claiming persecution on the basis of gender or as sexual minorities have faced many obstacles in the political asylum process including additional burdens of proof of identity and of persecution. Based on our own work with political asylum applicants, on legal reports, and on reports by groups providing assistance to asylum seekers, we review the law and the obstacles and consider the conditions underlying and supporting suspicion of …

Contradictory Discourses of Protection and Control in Transnational Asylum Law
For immigration authorities, the goal of asylum hearings is to differentiate between economic migrants and legitimate political asylum seekers. However, in the stories asylum seekers tell, these categories often blur. Nevertheless, the asylum process uses this differentiation to conceal inequities in the system, and to justify denials. This article examines political asylum as a transnational and culturally local process and argues that contradic…
Rejecting Refugees
Many nations recognize the moral and legal obligation to accept people fleeing from persecution, but political asylum applicants in the twenty-first century face restrictive policies and cumbersome procedures. So, what counts as persecution? How do applicants translate their stories of suffering and trauma into a narrative acceptable to the immigration officials? How can asylum officials weed out the fake from the genuine without resorting to ina…
Producing Epistemologies of Ignorance in the Political Asylum Application Process 1
The granting of political asylum is implicated in other often competing agendas and discourses, including national security, the obligation to provide safe haven, the histories of past immigrants and asylum seekers, and the criminalization of people who cross borders illegally, for whatever motive. Political asylum serves two sometimes contradictory ends: protection of the state and refuge for the applicant. This contradiction is at the root of t…
Representing Trauma
The trauma narratives told by refugees in their appeal for asylum status in the United States are culturally constructed, based not only on local cultural discourses for talking about grief, tragedy, struggle, and displacement, but also on the legal and bureaucratic cultures of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (B.C.I.S.). On the basis of interviews with asylum seekers and with immigration lawyers and B.C.I.S. officials, we discu…
Domestic Violence Law Reforms
In recent years, feminists have worked hard to pressure society and the criminal justice system into taking domestic violence seriously. These efforts have resulted in more government funding and increased services to victims. In addition, there have also been legal and policy reforms which have affected the way cases are handled in the criminal justice system. This article reports on research on the reactions to those reforms by those most direc…

Failure and success in self-help groups for victims of professional sexual exploitation
The recent proliferation of self-help groups is a widespread phenomenon in the United States (Gartner & Reissman, 1984; Powell, 1987). Much of the literature on this subject is in the advocacy genre; it describes the self-help movement in glowing terms. Some of the work deals specifically with the experiences of those who have set up various self-help and support groups and advises others how to do so (e.g., Katz et al., 1992). Another part of th…
Prison sexology
As revealed in two unrelated reports from prison inmates, the sexology of all‐male incarceration subdivides into masturbation, wet dreams, and partner contacts in association with heterosexual imagery; consenting homosexual pairing with one partner exclusively androphilic and the other bisexual; coercive partnerships with one partner dominating but not injuring the other and neither being permanently and exclusively androphilic; and violent homos…

Community Values, Domestic Tranquility, and Customary Law in Upper Volta
Thetheme of this article is the decline of customary law in Upper Volta where, like most countries in Africa, customary courts operate side by side with the modern, ex-colonial legal system.1My study ofLe Tribunal de Premier Instancein Bobodioulasso suggests that customary courts may not in fact apply customary law. An examination of the criteria and the process by which decisions are reached here may help us to gain an insight into the function …
