Annie Fukushima: An Unsettled Witnessing in these Migratory Times
@ The Great Hall at Trinity University, 1 Trinity Place
Dr. Annie Fukushima will be presenting her book, Migrant Crossings, which examines the experiences and representations of Asian and Latina/o migrants trafficked in the United States into informal economies and service industries. Through sociolegal and media analysis of court records, press releases, law enforcement campaigns, film representations, theatre performances, and the law, Annie Isabel Fukushima questions how we understand victimhood, criminality, citizenship, and legality. Migrant Crossings deeply interrogates what it means to bear witness to migration in these migratory times—and what such migrant crossings mean for subjects who experience violence during or after their crossing.
