Call for Papers Reframing Immigration in the Americas
CALL FOR PAPERS!
Dialogo invites submissions for upcoming themes on:
Reframing Immigration in the Americas
Guest Thematic Editors: Enrique C. Ochoa, CSULA; Gilda L. Ochoa, Pomona College; and Suyapa G. Portillo, Pitzer College
Over the past twenty years, there has been tremendous growth in literature on contemporary Latina/o migration. That scholarship has been important for highlighting undocumented students? experiences, detailing struggles for immigration rights, and complicating theories of immigration. However, significant issues and theoretical frameworks are often elided by both the organizing priorities of mass movements and by traditional discipline-specific scholarship. Reseach on immigration follows the dominant narrative and rarely creates alternative visions or possibilities. The topics and theories often marginalized are at the heart of a critical examination of the western hemispheric movement of peoples across borders and labor markets. These issues and perspectives often blur the borderline with a host of intersectional conditions, bodies and identities. Such is the case of Queer and LGBT and the undocumented crossings of Indigenous and Black Diasporas.
We invite 750-word abstracts for research articles, theoretical conceptualizations, creative pieces, oral histories, and course syllabi that speak to any of the below topics and perspectives aimed at broadening frameworks on immigration in the Am?ricas.

This issue seeks to center migration perspectives, testimonials, theories, and pedagogies that have been marginalized in the mainstream immigration scholarship. Focusing on queer and Trans migration, prisoners and offenders, detention and the politics of immigration courts, Indigenous and Afrodescendant migrations, race and migration, and the politics of undocumented and documented labor and labor organizing, this issue aims to provide a western hemispheric interrogation of migration in the era of Globalized capital where the working poor are losing their rights to land, markets and daily survival. While the issue will engage immigration in the U.S., we hope it can dialogue with transnational migration ?circuits? in the Am?ricas.
