This article examines the dynamics of constructing current migration from the so-called Global South in ‘risk’, ‘crisis’ and ‘fear’ terms that translate into xenophobic, racialised and gendered processes of ‘othering’ people who are displaced. This is done within the framework of a ‘coloniality of power’ (Quijano 2000b) perspective, understood as the ‘colonial power matrix’ (Grosfoguel 2011. This is how the location from which the current racialised and gendered politics of fear is being constructed. The notion of racialised security leads to racialised masculinity of the ‘Other’, while stigmatising migrant men. These colonial narratives that have created ‘knowledge’ about other masculinities have been invoked and re-articulated within the current racialised processes of securitisation of migration. They have supported construction of the sexual assault of ‘our’ women as the public security concern. Consequently, racially marked rape becomes an important part of State security, linked to national territory and border control.

性别和种族化的边境安全:流离失所的人和恐惧的政治

本文以“风险”、“危机”和“恐惧”等术语探讨了构建当前从所谓的全球南方迁移的动态,这些术语转化为流离失所的“其他”人的仇外、种族化和性别化过程。这是在“权力的殖民性”(Quijano 2000b)视角的框架内完成的,该视角被理解为“殖民权力矩阵”(Grosfoguel 2011)。这就是当前种族化和性别化恐惧政治的构建位置。种族化安全的概念导致了“他者”的种族化男性气质,同时对移民男性进行了污名化。这些创造了关于其他男性气质的“知识”的殖民叙事在当前移民安全化的种族化过程中被引用和重新阐述。他们支持将“我们的”女性的性侵犯视为公共安全问题。因此,带有种族标志的强奸成为国家安全的重要组成部分,与国家领土和边境控制有关。
