The anthropologists and activists gathered for this series have long been on the front lines fighting for migrant and racial justice. They have assisted families who lost loved ones in the desert, organized with deportees in Mexico, and taught children recently reunified with their parents. Some have been directly impacted by Trump’s Muslim ban, the rescission of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and his deportation spree. This collection situates the damage wrought under the Trump presidency within decades of systematic violence and dehumanization. A return to “before Trump” has been a return to the same profitable deportation regime rooted in white supremacy. Nor can a stroke of the presidential pen reverse the myriad and monstrous state-sponsored harms that millions have endured. The essays locate this particular moment within centuries of racialized exclusions, and imagine a way forward guided by those who are most impacted and are forced to employ multiple activisms to challenge capitalist and carceral forces. They highlight migrants’ refusal and resistance to be disposable, dispossessed, or pathologized. This series grows out of two American Anthropological Association (AAA) annual meeting panels, one in 2015 and another in 2020. Through the contributors’ experiences, which span administrations, we see strategies of care, solidarity, and organizing that expose and reject the United States’ long history of enforcing white supremacy through immigration policy.
