Beskrivning

In Black Interdictions, Philip Kretsedemas exposes the antiblack racism latent in the U.S. government’s Haitian refugee policies of the 1980s and 1990s which set the tone for the criminalization of migrants and refugees in the new millennium and lead to the migration and refugee policies of the Trump era and beyond. This type of radical exclusion is singular to the black experience and the black/nonblack binary must be factored into an analysis of the US migration regime. It is not possible to work together for equity and justice if we are not prepared to grapple with this divisive history and the instinct to avoid dealing with the singularity of the black experience. This book will be of interest to scholars of migration and refugee studies, black studies, legal studies, public policy and international relations, and many others.

Starting with U.S. interdiction of Haitian asylum seekers in the 1980s, Kretsedemas reaches into the past and stretches into the future to produce a paradigm-shifting vision of U.S. immigration policy. Black Interdictions retells a familiar history by exposing the ghosts and silences in legal texts, building a profound case for metanarratives of antiblackness that undergird and pervade the law. Kretsedemas’s meticulous analysis, in turn, shatters the silences endemic to migration and refugee studies, exposing the continuities of exclusion from law and humanity of black citizens and noncitizens alike.
