商品描述

As scholars have by now long contended, global neoliberalism and the violence associated with state restructuring provide key frameworks for understanding flows of people across national boundaries and, eventually, into the treacherous terrains of the United States borderlands. The proposed volume builds on this tradition of situating migration and migrant death within broad, systems-level frameworks of analysis, but contends that there is another, perhaps somewhat less tidy, but no less important sociopolitical story to be told here.

Through examination of how forensic scientists define, navigate, and enact their work at the frontiers of US policy and economics, this book joins a robust body of literature dedicated to bridging social theory with bioarchaeological applications to modern day problems.

This volume is based on deeply and critically reflective analyses, submitted by individual scholars, wherein they navigate and position themselves as social actors embedded within and, perhaps partially constituted by, relations of power, cultural ideologies, and the social structures characterizing this moment in history.

Each contribution addresses a different variation on themes of power relations, production of knowledge, and reflexivity in practice. In sum, however, the chapters of this book trace relationships between institutions, entities, and individuals comprising the landscapes of migrant death and repatriation and considers their articulation with sociopolitical dynamics of the neoliberal state.

正如學者們長期以來所主張的,全球新自由主義及其與國家重組相關的暴力行為為理解跨越國界的人員流動提供了關鍵框架,最終也進入了美國邊境地區的險惡地帶。本書提議的內容建立在將移民及移民死亡置於廣泛系統層面分析框架中的傳統之上,但主張這裡還有另一個或許不那麼整齊但同樣重要的社會政治故事需要被講述。

通過檢視法醫科學家如何定義、導航及執行他們在美國政策與經濟前沿的工作,本書加入了一個致力於將社會理論與生物考古學應用於當代問題相結合的豐富文獻體系。

本書的內容基於深刻且批判性的反思分析,由個別學者提交,他們在其中導航並定位自己作為社會行動者,嵌入於並或許部分由權力關係、文化意識形態及特徵化此歷史時刻的社會結構所構成。

每篇貢獻都針對權力關係、知識生產及實踐中的反思性主題提出不同的變體。然而,總的來說,本書的各章節追溯了構成移民死亡與遣返景觀的機構、實體及個體之間的關係,並考慮它們與新自由主義國家的社會政治動態之間的相互關聯。

作者簡介

Dr. Krista Erin Latham is an Associate Professor of Biology and Anthropology at the University of Indianapolis, where she has taught since 2007. She is also the Director of the University of Indianapolis Human Identification Center. She received her B.S. in Biology and Chemistry from the University of North Texas in 2000, her M.S. in Human Biology from the University of Indianapolis in 2003, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from Temple University in 2006 and 2008. Dr. Latham is a Board Certified Forensic Anthropologist (D-ABFA) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Her research investigates different aspects of human biological variation, skeletal biology, population genetics and skeletal DNA and she has produced numerous scientific publications. She currently serves as a Consulting Forensic Anthropologist for police, coroners, and pathologists in the Midwestern U.S. and has delivered numerous lectures for state and local agencies around the country. Dr. Latham also serves as a DNA Expert in the U.S. Federal Court System.

Dr. Alyson O'Daniel is is an Assistant Professor of Medical and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her scholarship and teaching explore intersections of state power, policy, and practice, social and bodily vulnerability, and health care inequality in United States. She has worked for fourteen years on discerning racial, class, and gendered dimensions of HIV-related health inequalities, and the relationships between federal public health care policy and the structure and content of local initiatives for the health care and support of HIV-positive women. During this time, she has conducted extensive ethnographic research among HIV-positive women and their service providers in Denver, Colorado, "Midway," North Carolina, and Indianapolis, Indiana. Her HIV/AIDS related work has been published in journals such as Medical Anthropology, Human Organization, and Transforming Anthropology. Her recent book-length ethnography, Holding On: African American Women Surviving HIV/AIDS, was published by University of Nebraska Press in 2016. More recently, Dr. O'Daniel's research program has expanded to include examining response to the migrant death crisis in South Texas. In partnership with the humanitarian forensic science team from the University of Indianapolis, the project explores volunteer forensic science as a crucial, yet politically-fraught part of the human migration story.
