About the Book
From the COVID-19 pandemic to the war in Gaza, recent events have demonstrated the implacability of settler colonialism and its racist underpinnings. Annie Isabel Fukushima and K. Melchor Quick Hall edit a visionary collection focused on radical struggles against these forces.
The editors organize the essays in four thematic sections: subversive labor; spatialities and temporalities; resistance; and genealogies and feminist futures. Inspired by outside catalysts like sharing circles and poetry, the contributors challenge the boundaries of time and space that we imagine as constraints on labor and resistance. Their methodological approaches include participation observation, pláticas, critical participatory action research, spatial analysis, interviews, testimonio, grounded theory, and historical analysis.
Interdisciplinary and diverse, Decolonial Feminist Genealogies and Futures draws on a unique history of thought and action to map a new generation of practices.

Reviews
“This is an important work that sets out to create a decolonial feminist vision for the future by building on past and present work that the contributors categorize as decolonial. The diversity of voices and perspectives is laudable and includes significant indigenous representation among the contributors and topics.”–Karma R. Chávez, author of Palestine on the Air
“This is a significant collection that both excavates the past and envisions a more equitable future.”–Ms. Magazine

“Migrant Crossings brilliantly dissects our understandings of the plight of Latina and Asian women trafficked into informal economies of sex and service. Combining original analysis of court cases, news accounts, and police reports with the author’s experience as a volunteer counselor, Fukushima reveals a legal system that requires a survivor’s story to fit the model of ‘perfect victimhood’ in order to cross into visibility and be deemed worthy of asylum.” —Evelyn Nakano Glenn, University of California, Berkeley
“Migrant Crossings critically examines the framing and impact of the U.S. anti-human trafficking movement. Annie Fukushima explores how our work in the movement is often at odds with our stated objectives and reveals how an individual’s experiences are shaped by a racist, misogynistic, and colonialist history. A deeply important read for all of us working to realize the promise of human rights.” —Jean Bruggeman, Executive Director, Freedom Network USA
“Migrant Crossings offers a deeply insightful analysis of the structures of human trafficking. It illustrates linkages between labor migration and human trafficking while convincing readers that vulnerability to human trafficking belongs in a historical continuum of U.S. racial exclusion.” —Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, author of Servants of Globalization: Migration and Domestic Work
Migrant Crossings: Witnessing Human Trafficking in the U.S. is the 2020 recipient of the American Sociological Association’s Section on Asia and Asian America’s Book Award on Asian America. I was also an Honoree for Migrant Crossings: Witnessing Human Trafficking in the U.S., for the 5th Annual Celebrate U Event, A Showcase of Extraordinary Faculty Achievements, The Celebrate U Task Force, University of Utah.
