Tristan Josephson

On Transits and Transitions

Trans Migrants and U.S. Immigration Law

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the intersection of immigration and trans rights, On Transits and Transitions examines the processes through which the category of transgender is incorporated into U.S. immigration law and policy. Using mobility as a critical lens, Josephson captures the insecurity and precarity created by U.S. immigration control and related processes of racialization to show how im/mobility conditions citizenship and national belonging for trans migrants in the United States.
