Since the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) tensions concerning immigration trends and policies, which
continued to escalate at the turn of the millennium resulted in
revised national security policies in Mexico, Canada, and the
United States. These tensions have catalyzed the three governments
to rethink their political and economic agendas. While national
feminist scholarship in and on these respective countries continue
to predominate, since NAFTA, there has been increasing feminist
inquiry in a North American regional frame. Less has been done to
understand challenges of the hegemonies of nation, region, and
empire in this context and to adequately understand the meaning of
(im)mobility in people's lives as well as the (im)mobilities of
social theories and movements like feminism. Drawing from current
feminist scholarship on intimacy and political economy and using
three main frameworks: Fortressing Writs/Exclusionary Rights,
Mobile Bodies/Immobile Citizenships, and Bordered/Borderland
Identities, a handpicked group of established and rising feminist
scholars methodically examine how the production of feminist
knowledge has occurred in this region. The economic, racial, gender
and sexual normativities that have emerged and/or been
reconstituted in neoliberal and securitized North America further
reveal the depth of regional and global restructuring.
