Triscornia Migratory Camp
Triscornia Migratory Camp: Empire, Public Health, and Exclusion in Cuba’s Ellis Island is a pioneering work that explores Triscornia, Havana’s immigration processing center. Despite being overlooked, Triscornia predates most immigration detention centers in the U.S., except for Ellis Island. Both Ellis Island’s current building and Triscornia opened in the same year – 1900. Built during the U.S. first military occupation of Cuba, it represented the cutting-edge of modern nation-building and public health infrastructure. This volume offers an interdisciplinary perspective on Triscornia’s importance by uniting scholars from literature, history, critical theory, and anthropology. This book illuminates the significance of migratory policy in the early Cuban Republic and its neocolonial relationship with the United States. By focusing on Triscornia, the contributors engage broader scholarly discussions on migration and border control, imperialism and nation-building, memory, public health, race, gender, class, and national identity.

The Routledge Handbook of Violence in Latin American Literature
This Handbook brings together essays from an impressive group of well-established and emerging scholars from all around the world, to show the many different types of violence that have plagued Latin America since the pre-Colombian era, and how each has been seen and characterized in literature and other cultural mediums ever since. This ambitious collection analyzes texts from some of the region's most tumultuous time periods, beginning with early violence that was predominately tribal and ideological in nature; to colonial and decolonial violence between colonizers and the native population; through to the political violence we have seen in the postmodern period, marked by dictatorship, guerrilla warfare, neoliberalism, as well as representations of violence caused by drug trafficking and migration. The volume provides readers with literary examples from across the centuries, showing not only how widespread the violence has been, but crucially how it has shaped the region and evolved over time.
Direitos Humanos, migrações e refúgio
Pensar em migrações hoje é pensar para além da simples visão de deslocamento desatrelado de contextos excludentes, nos quais a pobreza, a fome e a falta de oportunidades em geral constituem-se fatores de mobilização humana pelo globo. Não é uma escolha pessoal. É uma condição determinada pelo próprio sistema social. Neste ponto, precisamente, há uma linha tênue entre o ser e o não ser. Quem são, portanto, o migrante e o refugiado? O que é cidadania no contexto das migrações e do refúgio? Como pensar a cidadania quando ela não está alinhada ao branco (hétero, inclusive!), ao nacional, ao oficialmente dentro da lei e ao estabelecido? Os migrantes e refugiados estão na ...
