<p></p>
The theme for this special issue, “Colonial Legacies and Contested Futures” takes inspiration from the 27th Biennial Canadian Ethnic Studies Association. This conference was held November 14–16, 2024 in what in Cree is called “Beaver Hills House” (Amiskwaciy-wâskahikan / ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) or what is colonially known as Edmonton. Drawing together over 200 scholars, students, and practitioners in the Old Strathcona Theatre District Arts Barn, the conference provided a unique opportunity to confront the tensions, challenges and opportunities shaping the field of ethnic studies, particularly in the settler colonial context of Canada. Through the sharing and analysis of story-telling, theatre, film, narrative, music, as

<p></p>
Making Space for Indigenous Feminism, 3rd ed. (Fernwood Publishing 2024) is the latest book in a series of edited volumes that explore and engage with the intellectual and activist work carried out by self-identified Indigenous feminists over the past twenty years. Drawing out the genealogy of the Making Space volumes from their origin in 2007 up to the third edition in 2024 reveals important insights regarding the trajectory of the Indigenous feminist movement and its contemporary and future contributions to the study of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality in Canada.This article reviews the current terrain of the Indigenous feminist movement, providing an account of the continuities/changes in how Indigenous

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/989104
<p></p>
Migration literature traditionally maps migrants’ geographical trajectories as people leaving point A (country of residence) and then arriving at point B (country of destination) and sometimes re-routing to points A or C (Collyer and de Haas 2010; Montagna et al. 2021). Such uncomplicated mapping, however, tends to overshadow the migrants’ cognitive and emotional work of deciding when, where and how to move (Carling and Schewel 2020; Boccagni and Baldassar 2015), particularly amid rising nationalist sentiments and increasingly restrictive immigration policies. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digitalization of migration governance, which has created difficulties in identifying credible information for

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/989105
<p></p>
The use of technologies in migration management is rapidly reshaping how states surveil and oversee the movement of people for temporary or permanent settlement (Broeders and Dijstelbloem 2016).1 Although technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are often presented as tools to increase efficiency, scholars and advocates have warned that such technologies may jeopardize or sacrifice individuals’ fundamental rights (particularly privacy) and increase the vulnerability of marginalized populations (Nalbandian 2022).This discussion resonates with two opposing perspectives on technological governance: techno-optimism and techno-pessimism. Techno-optimism, as defined by Danaher (2022, 8), is “the stance that

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/989106
<p></p>
Researchers have long underscored the difficulties of studying prejudice in public opinion. While some people readily disclose prejudicial views, many others mask them, consciously or unconsciously, due to the pressure to conform to social norms and a desire to maintain a favourable (self-)image. This problem not only makes it more difficult to study how prejudice functions in public opinion but also makes it harder to understand the unspoken mental maps that people carry with them. These mental schemas, famously called the “pictures in our heads” by Lippmann (1922), can affect people’s judgements as well as their inter-personal interactions, a key interest for those who study race, ethnicity and immigration.To

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/989107
<p></p>
In The Walls Have Eyes, Petra Molnar offers a timely and critical exploration of how modern border technologies impact human migration. Navigating social sciences and humanities with minimal jargon, Molnar makes this interdisciplinary work accessible to a broad audience.The book opens with a powerful examination of borders as physical and symbolic barriers, enforcing exclusion and violence. Recognizing the harsh realities faced by migrants, Molnar also emphasizes their resilience and acts of defiance. This dual perspective sets the stage for a nuanced discussion on the ethics of migration and border control.The Walls Have Eyes critiques new border technologies like facial recognition, Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Diego Bastianutti’s Finding My Shadow: A Journey of Self-Discovery is a compelling autobiographical narrative chronicling the author’s lifelong journey from displacement to belonging. Published by Club Giuliano Dalmato di Toronto as part of the Arpa d’or series, this book weaves personal memoir with historical context, exploring themes of identity, exile, and cultural integration. Bastianutti captures the struggle for self-acceptance through poetic contemplation and a powerful narrative, rooted in the historical tragedies of the Giuliano-Dalmatian diaspora—the displacement of Italian-speaking populations from the Julian March and Dalmatian coast following World War II.The book opens with a prologue that sets the

<p></p>
In Resisting the Dehumanization of Refugees, 21 authors, academics, community organizers, and activists come together to produce an exemplary transdisciplinary collection of academic papers, literary essays, interviews, and autobiographical accounts. This book is divided into four sections, in which the authors explore the processes of dehumanization, re-humanization, and self-humanization of refugees, where the editors elegantly merge the theory and praxis with one focus: the re-humanization of refugees and asylum seekers. The transdisciplinary approach brings diverse voices to reflect on the integration of refugees, who carry the burden of stigmas attached to them.The dominant discourse surrounding refugees
