Although contexts and biotechnologies have changed in recent decades, the mechanisms and objectives of biopolitics remain similar; for example, discarding, marginalization, and exclusion continue to be present as forms of social death. The texts collected in this book address strategies for confronting policies of intervention on bodies, overcoming necropolitics, and fighting for life.
Migration in Latin America and Caribbean is no longer a one-way phenomenon toward the United States, but has become a global, complex, and multiscale experience linked to contemporary crises that reinforce each other: inequalities, climate change, conflicts, pandemics, and technological transformations. This book explores the causes, implications, and tensions of these mobilities, considering the structural, institutional, environmental, and cultural factors that shape them, as well as their gender, ethnic, and class dimensions.
