Eithne Luibhéid and Karma R. Chávez, text co-editors, and Julio Salgado, arts editor</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: center;"><b class="">Call for Proposals: May 1, 2017 deadline</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b class="">Overview: </b>In recent decades, migrant detentions and deportations have skyrocketed—in the United States and around the world. At the same time, possibilities for acquiring legal status have been greatly reduced or entirely
cut. President Trump’s 2017 executive orders further accelerate these trends. This proposed collection brings together academics, activists, and artists to explore how LGBTQ migrants experience and resist these dynamics of illegalization, detention and deportation.
The dynamics also affect citizens with migrant family members and citizens who are regularly racialized as “foreign,” as well as communities and families whose lives span national borders. Centering LGBTQ migrants, affected citizens, and cross-border communities
and families as interlinked, this book, the companion to <i class="">Queer Migrations: Sexuality, U.S. Citizenship, and Border Crossings</i> (Luibhéid and Cantú, 2005), is the first to address not only how these groups are affected by current enforcement strategies,
but also how a queer approach may contribute toward imagining migration controls and national citizenship differently.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b class="" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Call for Proposals: </b><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;" class="">We are seeking original academic, activist and artistic contributions to this project. We will eventually publish three kinds of
