Anna Tybinko is a National Endowment for the Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at Vanderbilt University. Lamonte Aidoo is Kiser Family Associate Professor of Romance Studies at Duke University. Daniel F. Silva is Associate Professor of Luso-Hispanic Studies, Director of Black Studies, and Director of the Twilight Project at Middlebury College.<p>‘Beyond widely rehearsed Eurocentric theoretical repertoires, Migrant Frontiers prioritizes decolonial thought and the Black radical tradition. Indeed, sustained dialogue—between contributors, disciplines, and critical theories—defines Migrant Frontiers. Its scope consolidates its place in the larger Global Hispanophone and Lusophone conversations. The radical aim of Migrant Frontiers lies in opening, through the migratory, to the decolonial reimagination of these fields.’ Oana Alexan Katz, Hispanófila</p>
This book examines today’s massive migrations between Global South and Global North in light of Spain and Portugal’s complicated colonial legacies. It offers unique material on Spanish-speaking and Lusophone Africa in conjunction to transatlantic and transpacific perspectives encompassing the Americas, Asia, and the Caribbean. For the first time, these are brought together to explore how movement within and beyond these former metropoles came to define the Iberian Peninsula. The collection is composed of papers that study human mobility in Spanish-speaking or Lusophone contexts from a myriad of approaches. The project thus sheds critical light on migratory movement within the Luso-Hispanic world, and also beyond its traditional geo-linguistic parameters, through an eclectic and inter-disciplinary collection of essays, traversing anthropology, literary studies, theater, and popular culture. Beyond focusing solely on the geo-political limits of Peninsular space, several essays interrogate the legacies of Iberian colonial projects in a global perspective, and how the discursive underpinnings of these impact the politics of migration in the broader Luso-Hispanic world.
