Katia Chornik. 2025. Music and Political Imprisonment in Pinochet's Chile. Nueva York

Rememorando a Violeta el día de su fuga
This paper presents a sociohistorical study of the ritual homages carried out by singers, artists, and left-wing activists at the graveside of Violeta Parra every February 5 in Santiago, Chile. The homages date from the years immediately following her death in 1967 and persisted during the military dictatorship, when they acquired an important political dimension. They have continued without interruption to the present day. The analysis privilege…

We Shall Not Be Moved/No nos moverán
We Shall Not Be Moved: The Trail Blazed by a Song from the U.S. South to Spain and South America details the history of "We Shall Not Be Moved" from its birth as a slave spiritual in the U.S. South and its subsequent adoption as a standard hymn by the U.S. labor, civil rights, and farmworker movements, to its singing in the student movement opposing the Franco dictatorship in Spain in the 1960s, and finally to its arrival in the South American co…
Coyotaje as a Cultural Practice Applied to Migration
Un canto en movimiento
This article presents the results of a study that examines the history of the song “We Shall Not Be Moved” and the singing of it in different cultural and sociopolitical contexts over the course of two centuries. The song originated in the religious practices of African slaves in the United States in the 19th century. In the 20th century it was adopted as an anthem by labor union movements and the civil rights movement in the United States. It la…
The Lexicon of Clandestine Migration on the Mexico-US Border
This article analyzes the origins, usage, and connotations of a variety of official and colloquial terms in Spanish and English that are used routinely in the vernacular lexicon describing the clandestine migration of Mexicans to the United States. It argues that scholars of Chicana/o, border, and migration studies need to pay greater attention to the language describing clandestine migration in order to better understand how migration insiders a…
Comment on Josiah Heyman’s “Capitalism and US policy at the Mexican border”
Le coyotage et les barrières imposées à la mobilité humaine par les états nationaux
Au Mexique et dans les pays centraméricains, les inégalités économiques poussent des milliers de personnes à abandonner leur pays d’origine pour chercher une place sur le marché de l’emploi américain. N’ayant pour la plupart aucune chance d’entrer aux États-Unis par la voie légale, les migrants sont obligés de faire appel aux services de passeurs, les “coyotes”. Soumis à toutes formes de violence, de rançonnage voire d’exécution par les cartels d…
Clandestine Crossings
Clandestine Crossings delivers an in-depth description and analysis of the experiences of working-class Mexican migrants at the beginning of the twenty-first century as they enter the United States surreptitiously with the help of paid guides known as coyotes. Drawing on ethnographic observations of crossing conditions in the borderlands of South Texas, as well as interviews with migrants, coyotes, and border officials, Spener details how migrant…
Movidas Rascuaches
In the field of Chicana/o arts and letters, rasquachismo refers to the celebration of the sensibility of los de abajo (the underdogs), whose resourcefulness and ingenuity permit them to overcome adversity by stitching together the tools needed to survive from whatever materials they have at hand. In this article, I apply the concept of rasquachismo to interpreting the clandestine border-crossing strategies that Mexican migrants pursue as a way of…

North American Free Trade and Changes in the Nativity of the Garment Industry Workforce in the United States
In this article, we address the question of the extent to which US producers' reliance on cheap immigrant labor can continue to retard the march of apparel manufacturing out of the country as garments produced by even cheaper labor overseas flood the US market in the post-NAFTA period. The article is divided into five sections. In the first, we introduce concepts that are key to our discussion, including the new international division of labor th…
The U.S.-Mexico Border

The U.S.-Mexico Border
U.S.‐Mexico Trade Liberalization and Its Effects on Small‐scale Enterprises in Two Distinct Regions
As has been widely recognized in the literature, the post‐war economic boom which drew to a close by the early 1970s has been followed by an intense period of industrial restructuring characterized by marked instability in all three major spheres of economic activity: production, distribution, and finance. This process has taken place both at the global level and at the level of national economies (Cardenas, 1990). It reflects a profound change i…
