- Summary:
- "Abolitionist Intimacies takes up the ways that queer and trans migrants have challenged the violence of deportation through abolition work and by constructing networks of solidarity with other migrants across the spectrum of sexual identity. While there is a burgeoning literature on deportation in the US and elsewhere, surprisingly little attention has been paid to queer migrants and the projects they have formed to protect themselves and others from deportation. By focusing on these activist efforts, as well as the publicly available records on queer and trans deportees, Eithne Luibheid highlights the new knowledges that emerge when the experiences of queer and trans folks are centered. Examining immigration control and deportation as forms of infrastructure, Luibheid shows how queer migrants mobilize intimacies with each other and with non-queer people to contest the deportation state and build solidarity beyond the horizon of the settler colonial heterosexual nuclear family"-- Provided by publisher.
