Book excerpt: What kind of politics emerges under dire conditions of violence and precarity in the context of transit migration across Mexico? How is sanctuary practiced and gendered? This dissertation analyzes a range of experiences of transit and sanctuary practices of hospitality, care and solidarity, particularly those of marginalized women, nonbinary individuals, and grassroots movements that reveal an emerging pattern of transnational citizenship from below. As a defining issue of the 21st century, international migrations have provided an occasion for the rebirth of virulent forms of nationalist citizenship both from above and below, and the expansion of the coercive functions of the state. In the Americas, masses of displaced and dispossessed people cross international borders exposing themselves to the most perilous journeys throughout Mexico en routeto the United States. This dissertation sheds light on how civil society in Mexico has hastened to respond to the pressing needs of mobile populations, precipitated by a binational deportation regime that returns people to the poorest and most violent countries in the Western hemisphere. While the literature has privileged the (receiving) state as paradigmatic locus of power, and its institutional and geographical span as the main political domain, I argue for a notion of "citizenship in transit" that posits transit as a stark time-space within which the dispute to define the parameters and participants of citizenship unfolds. Taking "encounter" as a level of analysis, I shift the focus away from "foreigner" or "citizen" as identities and legal statuses, and direct attention instead to practice, to how people "do" citizenship. My study builds on data collected during fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork involving participant observation and in-depth interviews with sanctuary workers, asylum seekers, undocumented migrants, volunteers, activists, lawyers, humanitarian personnel, and government officials in Mexico and Central America. My core argument is two-fold. In a material sense, transit becomes an enduring time-space wherein the multiplication of agents and sites of government undermine the rights of citizenship for everyone. As a set of political practices, "citizenship in transit" denotes how ordinary people re-invent citizenship beyond the legal designation and the epistemological framework of the nation-state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do governments do when much of their population simply gets up and walks away? In Mexico and other migrant-sending countries, mass emigration prompts governments to negotiate a new social contract with their citizens abroad. After decades of failed efforts to control outflow, the Mexican state now emphasizes voluntary ties, dual nationality, and rights over obligations. In this groundbreaking book, David Fitzgerald examines a region of Mexico whose citizens have been migrating to the United States for more than a century. He finds that emigrant citizenship does not signal the decline of the nation-state but does lead to a new form of citizenship, and that bureaucratic efforts to manage emigration and its effects are based on the membership model of the Catholic Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lives in Transit chronicles the dangerous journeys of Central American migrants in transit through Mexico. Drawing on fieldwork in humanitarian aid shelters and other key sites, Wendy A. Vogt examines the multiple forms of violence that migrants experience as their bodies, labor, and lives become implicated in global and local economies that profit from their mobility as racialized and gendered others. She also reveals new forms of intimacy, solidarity, and activism that have emerged along transit routes over the past decade. Through the stories of migrants, shelter workers, and local residents, Vogt encourages us to reimagine transit as a site of both violence and precarity as well as social struggle and resistance.
