At the same time, engaged methods of research inside institutions such as U.S. immigration courts and refugee shelters offer a portal onto how such institutions might be reimagined and changed. I explore my own research through expert witnessing and working in a shelter to focus on two interrelated themes: the limits and possibilities of expert witnessing in the U.S. asylum system, and the limits and possibilities for critical knowledge production in what some have termed the humanitarian industrial complex and accompanying solidarity efforts. I conclude by suggesting ways that research and engagement can provide ideas for innovation of the U.S. asylum system.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"180 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143427132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While research tends to focus on either deflection or restriction tactics, this paper builds on studies that examine the interaction between them. To further examine the interaction between these “bordering” practices at and beyond the physical U.S. border, we conducted two years of ethnographic research with asylum seekers in three ICE detention centers, one district of the “Migrant Protection Protocols,” and via Title 42 expulsions. We show how paralegal manipulations of time interact with spatial and legal modalities of exclusion to deflect asylum seekers from Latin America and the Caribbean in particular. The result for people who are subjected to these processes is compounded trauma inflicted through a paradoxical combination of state violence and statelessness in the United States and abroad.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study is centered around three themes: the (re)organization of schedules, job uncertainty, and changes in duties. These transformations in the work process generated an increase in the physical and mental workload, including emotional labor, both paid and unpaid. We offer a contribution to the theoretical discussion of the relationship between working and living conditions as a totality, framed through the lenses of critical research on occupational health and feminist theory.En este artículo analizamos la experiencia y la construcción de sentidos en torno al trabajo en pandemia de las tripulaciones de Aerolíneas Argentinas durante el período de suspensión de operaciones comerciales en el año 2020. Nos enfocamos en el estudio de tres dimensiones: la (re)organización de los tiempos, la incertidumbre laboral y el cambio de tareas. Sostenemos que esas transformaciones en el proceso de trabajo generaron un aumento de la carga laboral, tanto física como mental, incluyendo el trabajo emocional, remunerado y no remunerado.

We assess the forms of resistance they developed to survive the economic, social, and health crises associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic, which each group confronted in a different manner. We approached this from the viewpoint of the autonomy of migration and conducted participant observations and in-depth interviews with people of both nationalities using the framework of collaborative ethnography. In addition, we systematized and categorized relevant press articles to contextualize and trace the evolution of the pandemic and its impact on these populations. The research reveals the racism in what the press included and omitted, particularly with regard to the forms of resistance carried out by migrants, which appear to be the only way of confronting precarity and abandonment.En este artículo se abordan las repercusiones económicas y políticas de la pandemia en la población migrante en Iquique, Chile, comparando las experiencias de las poblaciones boliviana y venezolana.

This complexity is apparent within the research process itself, adding a new dimension to debates on positionality and the politics of knowledge production. Drawing on critical approaches to International Relations, and in dialogue with an emerging literature on the implications of the pandemic for knowledge decolonization, we reflect on our experience as scholars from the UK/Ireland researching colonial legacy and Transitional Justice in Colombia. The aim of this autoethnographic article is to suggest how the COVID-19 pandemic affected inequalities between researchers based in Europe and participants in Latin America. Our findings are mixed. While Covid-related funding cuts undermined equity within relationships, the virtual field offered an opportunity to cultivate cooperation between researcher and participant and re-think issues of ethics, voice, and the research agenda itself. Finally, El Maestro Covid taught us valuable lessons on the colonial trap inherent in our endeavors.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142940270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data collection took place between April and August 2020, and gathered a sample made up of documents in various formats, which were drawn up by a wide range of actors who voice very different ideas and themes. The data analysis allowed us to identify three important shifts: these actors reacted to the threats of the pandemic and de-democratization; they built frame bridges, which link various organizations and the traditional causes they fight for to the pandemic situation; and they articulated long-term agendas that point to a post-pandemic utopian future, which includes the construction of a new conception of democratic public solidarity that draws attention to the collective duty of public responsibility.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142940271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the same changes that facilitated this expansion of international teleworking have accelerated global competition between workers. This, along with the current crisis of the software industry, leads to layoffs and a drop in wages.

Brazil, where over 700,000 people perished, offers one of the starkest cases as Black and Indigenous lives were particularly neglected through a hands-off approach. While commonly characterized as mismanagement, we argue that the Bolsonaro administration’s strategy instead represents a case of malgovernance—where deliberate (in)action rather than technical inaptitude accounts for the policies adopted. We draw from detailed account-taking of the government’s actions (and calculated inactions) throughout 2020 to 2022 to offer an elaborate analysis of Brazil’s case through the lens of necropolitics and gore capitalism. We expose how a libertarian self-reliance ethic, with racist undertones, joined together with boundless capital accumulation to create a social Darwinist approach to the handling of COVID-19 in Brazil. The malgovernance of the pandemic thus reveals deeper issues that in time may become manifest in newer, grimmer forms.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142940272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings suggest that perceived well-being during the pandemic was influenced by perceptions of agency as well as sentiment regarding pandemic policies. An initial “spiraling down” of community assets was offset by community strengths, particularly socio-cultural assets, leading to a “spiraling up.” This article seeks to highlight the voices of Indigenous Peoples, demonstrating through lived experiences how our respondents used the strengths of their community to reverse the downward spiral of assets during the pandemic, while serving as a contribution to the literature on governance and cultural protection.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142935222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
