Black Interdictions - Haitian Refugees and Antiblack Racism on the High Seas (Hardcover)

Haiti is the first, and only, modern nation-state to be created as
the result of a successful slave revolution. However, since its
emancipation, the Haitian state has been forced to pay Western
states compensation for the loss of the enslaved people, contended
with a chronically unstable and authoritarian state system, and has
been ranked as the poorest economy in the Western hemisphere. Black
Interdictions exposes the antiblack racism latent in the US
government's Haitian refugee policies of the 1980s and 1990s that
set the tone for the criminalization of migrants and refugees in
the new millennium and lead to the migration and refugee policies
of the Trump era. Within this experience of controlled mobility
many Haitians find themselves in a devastating catch-22, unable to
survive in their home nation and unable to find a better way of
life elsewhere due to border enforcement strategies, strict
immigration policies, and unprecedented measures to prevent asylum
claims. This type of radical exclusion is singular to the black
experience and the black/nonblack binary must be factored into an
analysis of the US migration regime. It shows how techniques of
control applied to black populations, whether free or slave,
migrant, or native-born, have been precursors for policies and
practices applied to nonblack migrants and refugees. It is not
possible to work together for equity and justice if we are not
prepared to grapple with this divisive history and the instinct to
avoid dealing with the singularity of the black experience
participates in the orders of knowledge and power that have been
fostered by antiblack racism. This book will be of interest to
scholars of migration and refugee studies, black studies, legal
studies, public policy and international relations, and many
others.
