“…In several of the past works previously carried out by the contributors, they shed light on what "the vulnerability of human rights" means today, by researching the experiences of vul-nerable populations in border regions. They are impacted by the relocation of the industry and services industry (as care work) (see Oso and Ribas-Mateos 2013, among an extensive already published literature), and its effect on the labor market, gender and class inequality, extreme violence, as well as forms of resistance against human rights abuses that occur especially in diverse border areas. Thus, the contributors also address the issues of solidarity, humanitarianism, and border activism as a global action in these specific sites as key ways of analyzing contemporary violence.…”

We are intrigued about world borders, their history and their spatial representation. We are interested in rediscovering the importance of spatial structure shaping globalization, which has deeply challenged geographic borders that were once "fixed" historical divisions of sovereignty and citizenship. This is why we are attentive to the changing role of borders in the twenty-first century. We are interested in researching how border zones are made up of assemblages of capital, objects, people, information and different contradictory and violent policies.We are also intrigued with the logistics and designs of global borders. Furthermore, we see border zones as blockades to mobility or the slow-down of the mobility of people. How do different types of cross-border mobility reflect classic personhood in light of the contemporary understanding of humanitarianism and compassion? We consider the concept of classic personhood understood as the status of human beings having individual and social human rights.The present era is marked by expanding state restrictions to the cross-border mobility of certain types of international migrants, particularly refugees and low-income labor migrants. This especially manifests in the Mediterranean and US-Mexico border regions, sites of contact between developed and developing nations and the movement of people from the Global South to the Global North. It is also exemplified in many other different areas of the world. In turn, we are witnessing the expansion of manifold forms of migrant humanitarian assistance and solidarity across these contested border zones. This type of solidarity is connected to a progressive form of activism, using transparency and sharing information in different scales and territories. Thus, the challenge is to carefully piece together the different blurred pieces of given information through a long-term empirical and theoretical examination. This is displayed by most of the contributors to this handbook, 1 who cumulatively cover a very diverse array of borders throughout the world.Drawing on the concept of the "politics of compassion", the book begins with the premise that persistent violence in border areas needs further investigation. More specifically, individual chapters of this edited volume provide different analyses in case studies in a wide variety of border areas which vividly describe the lived experiences of people. By doing this, the chapters in this book raise important research and theoretical questions regarding contemporary forms of border violence (Jones 2016); they interrogate the political, geopolitical, social and anthropological processes in the contemporary global moment we live in. The chapters of the book map different aspects of structural violence in specific border zones, forms and practices which connect with labor exploitation, legal exclusion and a severe absence of human rights. However, they also consider the possible resistance to the proliferation of such violence, by taking into account remarkable efforts that communities a...

“…En muchos casos son ellas quienes empiezan los procesos migratorios y se convierten en proveedoras económicas del hogar. Este protagonismo ha generado un creciente interés en el fenómeno por parte de investigadores, agencias internacionales y formuladores de políticas públicas (Gregorio-Gil, 2012;Oso y Ribas-Mateos, 2013;Magliano y Arrieta, 2021).…”

“…Hoy existen cada vez más mujeres que migran en forma independiente para trabajar, recibir educación o como cabezas de familia (Oso y Ribas-Mateos, 2013). En América Latina las mujeres migrantes desempeñan un papel fundamental en todos los sectores de la economía y son centrales en el cuidado familiar y comunitario (Magliano y Arrieta, 2021;Santos y Guerra, 2021).…”

A pesar de los diversos efectos nocivos del covid-19, en Latinoamérica la pandemia también se ha caracterizado por un significativo activismo migrante en torno al acceso a la salud pública y el reconocimiento de derechos y garantías de protección legal y fi-nanciera. Desde el enfoque de la autonomía de las migraciones y mediante un abordaje cualitativo que incluye revisión de literatura especializada, entrevistas con informantes clave y la participación directa en diversas iniciativas, este artículo tiene el propósito de analizar la actuación y las iniciativas de enfrentamiento a la pandemia desarrolladas por cinco colectivos de mujeres y disidencias sexuales y de género migrantes en Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Bolivia. A través de redes de solidaridad y cuidado y de campañas transnacionales como ¡Regularización Ya!, estos colectivos han puesto en marcha una nueva gramática del activismo y de la resistencia migrante.
