LALSC Steering Committee members and Ethnic Studies professors Arturo Aldama and Jessica Ordaz are editors of a new book,ÌýÌýout now from The University of Arizona Press. ÌýThe interdisciplinary collection presents one of the first detailed examinations of Ìýstate violence and immigration in the Trump era. ÌýInsightful contributions delve into the impact of Donald Trump’s rhetoric and policies on migrants detained and returned, immigrant children separated from their parents and placed in detention centers, and migrant women subjected to sexual and reproductive abuses, among other timely topics. The chapter authors document a long list in what the book calls “Trump’s Reign of Terror.â€
Organized thematically, the book has four sections: The first gathers histories about the Trump years’ roots in a longer history of anti-migration; the second includes essays on artistic and activist responses on the border during the Trump years; the third critiques the normalization of Trump’s rhetoric and actions in popular media and culture; and the fourth envisions the future.Ìý
