Class Notes
From the Instructor: What does it mean to attempt to document the fugitive? Through a reading of stories centered around undocumented immigration, the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border, detention centers, and the structures creating the distinctions between legality and illegality, the course is meant to explore the connection between settler-colonial legacies of white supremacy and anti-blackness to issues of immigration, border securitization, and state violence.
