This book is the product of an endless individual and collective process of mourning. It departs from the author's mourning for her parents, their histories and struggles in Germany as Gastarbeiter, while it also engages with the political mourning of intersectional feminist movements against feminicide in Central and South America; the struggles against state and police misogynoir violence of #SayHerName in the United States; the resistance of refugees and migrantized people against the coloniality of migration in Germany; and the intense political grief work of families, relatives, and friends who lost their loved ones in racist attacks from the 1980s until today in Germany. Bearing witness to their stories and accounts, this book explores how mourning is shaped both by its historical context and the political labor of caring commons, while it also follows the building of a conviviality infrastructure of support against migration-coloniality necropolitics, dwelling toward transformative and reparative practices of common justice.

Domestic and care work in private households is now the largest employment sector for migrant women. This book sheds light on these households through its focus on the interpersonal relationships between Latin American "undocumented migrant" domestic workers and employers in Austria, Germany, Spain and the UK. The personal experiences of these women form the basis for Gutiérrez-Rodríguezʹs decolonial analysis of the feminization of labor in private households and cultural analysis of domestic work as affective labor. This book will be a necessary voice in the debates on citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and migrant workersʹ rights. -- Publisher description from http://www.routledge.com (Sep. 30, 2011).

This article departs from the discussion by Stephen Castles on the migration-asylum nexus by focusing on the political and cultural effects of the summer of immigration in 2015. It argues for a conceptualization of the asylum-migration nexus within the framework of Anibal Quijano's "coloniality of power" by developing the analytical framework of the "coloniality of migration." Through the analytical framework of the "coloniality of migration" the connection between racial capitalism and the asylum-migration nexus is explored. It does so by first focusing on the economic and political links between asylum and migration, and how both constitute each other. On these grounds, it discusses how asylum and migration policies produce hierarchical categories of migrants and refugees, producing a nomenclature drawing on an imaginary reminiscent of the orientalist and racialized practices of European colonialism and imperialism. In a second step, it focuses on migration and asylum policies as inherent to a logic of racialization of the workforce. It does so by first exploring the racial coding of immigration policies within the context of settler colonialism and transatlantic White European migration to the Américas and Oceania in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and second, by discussing migration policies in post-1945 Western Europe. ; Cet article se démarque de la discussion de Stephen Castles sur le lien entre l'asile et la migration en ciblant les effets politiques et culturels de l'été migratoire vécu en 2015. Il plaide pour une conceptualisation du lien entre l'asile et la migration dans le cadre de la « colonialité du pouvoir » d'Anibal Quijano, et ce en élaborant le cadre d'analyse de la « colonialité de la migration ». C'est dans ce dernier qu'il explore la connexion entre le capitalisme racial et le lien asile-migration. Pour cela, l'article cible d'abord les liens politiques et économiques entre asile et migration, et la manière dont l'un et l'autre se constituent l'un par l'autre. Sur ces bases, en ...

Este ensayo examina cuestiones de intimidad transcultural en el marco teórico de las geografías translocales, vinculando la investigación de la autora sobre la inmigración femenina indocumentada en Europa y la organización del trabajo doméstico en hogares europeos (Brickell y Datta, 2011). En primer lugar, plantea considerar espacios translocales a los hogares que emplean a trabajadoras domésticas inmigrantes e indocumentadas en Alemania. En segundo lugar, desde la perspectiva de los estudios culturales y con una metodología descolonial y feminista, analiza el tejido cultural que informa de momentos de encuentro y desencuentro afectivo entre trabajadoras domésticas, procedentes de Abya Ayala/América Latina, y sus empleadoras. Desde aquí se abordan los (des)encuentros afectivos marcados por condiciones estructurales asimétricas, caracterizadas, primero, por la lógica de la feminización del trabajo y, después, por la colonialidad del poder (Quijano, 2000), inscrita en las políticas de control de las migraciones en la Unión Europea. Estos momentos de conexión y desconexión afectiva están prescritos, como se verá, por el contexto social en el que se desarrolla ese (des)encuentro. Palabras claveAfecto, Trabajo Doméstico, Translocalidad, Transculturalidad, Inmigración indocumentada, Unión Europea Abstract This paper examines issues of transcultural privacy in the theoretical framework of the trans-local geographies, linking the author's research about undocumented women immigrants in Europe and the organization of domestic work in European homes (Brickell and Datta, 2011). First, proposes to consider as translocal spaces the families that hire undocumented immigrants in Germany as domestic workers. Second, from the perspective of cultural studies and feminist and decolonial methodology, it analyzes the cultural fabric that informs meeting and emotional moments of disagreement between domestic workers, from Abya Ayala / Latin America, and their employers. From here, it addresses the emotional (dis)encounters marked by asymmetrical structural conditions characterized, first, by the logic of the feminization of work, and then, by the coloniality of power (Quijano, 2000) registered in control policies of migration in the European Union. These moments of emotional connection and disconnection are prescribed, as it will be seen, by the social context in which this (dis)encounter takes place.

Creolizing Europe critically interrogates creolization as the decolonial, rhizomatic thinking necessary for understanding the cultural and social transformations set in motion through trans/national dislocations. Exploring the usefulness, transferability, and limitations of creolization for thinking post/coloniality, raciality and othering not only as historical legacies but as immanent to and constitutive of European societies, this volume develops an interdisciplinary dialogue between the social sciences and the humanities. While not all the contributions in this volume explicitly address Edouard Glissant's approach to creolization, they all engage with aspects of his thinking. All of the chapters explore the usefulness, transferability, and limitations of creolization to the European context. As such, this edited collection offers a significant contribution and intervention in the fields of European Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Cultural Studies on two levels.

Decolonizing European Sociology builds on the work challenging the androcentric, colonial and ethnocentric perspectives eminent in mainstream European sociology by identifying and describing the processes at work in its current critical transformation. Divided into sections organized around key sociological concepts and themes, this book considers the self-definition and basic concepts of sociology through an assessment of the new theoretical developments
