Indigenous women migrants from Central America and Mexico face
harrowing experiences of violence before, during, and after their
migration to the United States, like all asylum seekers. But as
Shannon Speed argues, the circumstances for Indigenous women are
especially devastating, given their disproportionate vulnerability
to neoliberal economic and political policies and practices in
Latin America and the United States, including policing, detention,
and human trafficking. Speed dubs this vulnerability "neoliberal
multicriminalism" and identifies its relation to settler structures
of Indigenous dispossession and elimination. Using innovative
ethnographic practices to record and recount stories from
Indigenous women in U.S. detention, Speed demonstrates that these
women's vulnerability to individual and state violence is not
rooted in a failure to exercise agency. Rather, it is a structural
condition, created and reinforced by settler colonialism, which
consistently deploys racial and gender ideologies to manage the
ongoing business of occupation and capitalist exploitation. With
sensitive narration and sophisticated analysis, this book reveals
the human consequences of state policy and practices throughout the
Americas and adds vital new context for understanding the
circumstances of migrants seeking asylum in the United States.
