A 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Intersectionality
intervenes in the field of intersectionality studies: the
integrative examination of the effects of racial, gendered, and
class power on people's lives. While "intersectionality" tends to
circulate merely as a buzzword, Anna Carastathis joins other
critical voices in urging a more careful reading. Challenging the
narratives of arrival that surround it, Carastathis argues that
intersectionality is a horizon, illuminating ways of thinking that
have yet to be realized; consequently, calls to "go beyond"
intersectionality are premature. A provisional interpretation of
intersectionality can disorient habits of essentialism, categorical
purity, and prototypicality and overcome dynamics of segregation
and subordination in political movements. Through a close reading
of critical race theorist Kimberle Williams Crenshaw's germinal
texts, published more than twenty-five years ago, Carastathis urges
analytic clarity, contextual rigor, and a politicized, historicized
understanding of this pervasive concept. Intersectionality's roots
in social justice movements and critical intellectual
projects-specifically black feminism-must be retraced and
synthesized with a decolonial analysis so that its potential to
actualize coalitions can be enacted.
More than a quarter of a million LGBTQ-identified migrants in the
United States lack documentation and constantly risk detention and
deportation. LGBTQ migrants around the world endure similarly
precarious situations. Eithne Luibheid's and Karma R. Chavez's
edited collection provides a first-of-its-kind look at LGBTQ
migrants and communities. The academics, activists, and artists in
the volume center illegalization, detention, and deportation in
national and transnational contexts, and examine how migrants and
allies negotiate, resist, refuse, and critique these processes. The
works contribute to the fields of gender and sexuality studies,
critical race and ethnic studies, borders and migration studies,
and decolonial studies. Bridging voices and works from inside and
outside of the academy, and international in scope, Queer and Trans
Migrations illuminates new perspectives in the field of queer and
trans migration studies. Contributors: Andrew J. Brown, Julio Capo,
Jr., Anna Carastathis, Jack Caraves, Karma R. Chavez, Ryan Conrad,

Since 2015, the 'refugee crisis' is possibly the most photographed
humanitarian crisis in history. Photographs taken, for instance, in
Lesvos, Greece, and Bodrum, Turkey, were instrumental in generating
waves of public support for, and populist opposition to "welcoming
refugees" in Europe. But photographs do not circulate in a vacuum;
this book explores the visual economy of the 'refugee crisis,'
showing how the reproduction of images is structured by, and
secures hierarchies of gender, sexuality, and 'race,' essential to
the functioning of bordered nation-states. Taking photography not
only as the object of research, but innovating the method of
photographia- the material trace of writing/ grafi with light/
phos- this book urges us to view images and their reproduction
critically. Part theoretical text, part visual essay, Reproducing
Refugees vividly shows how institutional violence underpins both
the spectacularity and the banality of 'crisis.' This book goes
about synthesising visual studies with queer, feminist,
postcolonial, post-structuralist, and post-Marxist theories:
Reproducing Refugees: Photographia of a Crisis offers theoretical
frameworks and methodological tools to critically analyse
representations, both those circulated through hegemonic
institutions, and those generated from 'below'. It carves a space
between logos and praxis , ways of knowing and ways of doing, by
offering a new visual language that problematises reified
categories such as that of the 'refugee' and makes possible
disruptive, alternative, resistant perceptions . The book
contributes to the fields of migration and border studies,
critically engaging visual narratives drawn from migration
movements to question dominant categories and frameworks, from a
decolonial, no-borders, queer feminist perspective.

Fanon and the Decolonization of Philosophy explores the range of
ways in which Frantz Fanon's decolonization theory can reveal new
answers to perennial philosophical questions and new paths to
social justice. The aim is to show not just that Fanon's thought
remains philosophically relevant, but that it is relevant to an
even wider range of philosophical issues than has previously been
realized. The essays in this book are written by both renowned
Fanon scholars and new scholars who are emerging as experts in
aspects of Fanonian thought as diverse as humanistic psychiatry,
the colonial roots of racial violence and marginalization, and
decolonizing possibilities in law, academia, and tourism. In
addition to examining philosophical concerns that arise from
political decolonization movements, many of the essays turn to the
discipline of philosophy itself and take up the challenge of
suggesting ways that philosophy might liberate itself from colonial
and colonizing assumptions. This collection will be useful to those
interested in political theory, feminist theory, existentialism,
phenomenology, Africana studies, and Caribbean philosophy. Its
Fanon-inspired vision of social justice is endorsed in the foreword
by his daughter, Mireille Fanon-Mendes France, a noted human rights
defender in the French-speaking world."
