Recenzii
"The first in depth study of U.S. transgender immigration policy, On Transits and Transitions deftly illuminates the U.S immigration policy in which transgender became a recognized asylum seeker category. By brilliantly exploding the myth that more visibility and recognition for marginalized transgender people means expanded justice and equity, Josephson teaches us that citizenship and national belonging are not 'equal opportunity,' but are instead subject to inequitable racial, national, and gender hierarchies that persist even as we might assume they are improving."
"Tristan Josephson critically examines how three very different policy regimes—asylum, immigration through marriage, and immigration detention—distill transgender migrants into the 'deserving' and everyone else. An indispensable contribution to the scholarship on trans migrants that exposes the limits of a politics of recognition."
Descriere
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.
