Guided by a critical and transnational framework, this qualitative study centers on the perspectives and analyses of activists and organizers working with migrants to the United States who face devastating conditions due to historical and ongoing exploitation of geopolitical powers and structures of violence. Through thematic and reconstructive analyses, we focus on how 18 participants navigate the intersections of legal, political, economic, and cultural implications, as well as complex ethical and moral dilemmas, tensions, and contradictions that emerged in their work. Grounded in their eyewitness narratives, we attempt to learn about the lived experiences of migrants and engage in critical analysis of structural violence (i.e., violence embedded in the social structures and institutions) and oppressive conditions. We examine the notion of “solidarity” and what it means to engage in anti-oppressive transnational solidarity with differentials in positionalities and against the backdrop of professional and institutional reproduction of colonial, imperial, racist, and neoliberal forms of structural violence, including within the academy itself. Juxtaposing empirical and structural analyses, we hope to further contribute to a more nuanced understanding of intersectional social struggles and the potential for organizing towards liberatory solidarity.

见证针对移民的结构性暴力并设想跨国团结

在批判性和跨国框架的指导下，这项定性研究集中于与移民到美国的活动家和组织者的观点和分析，他们由于历史和持续的地缘政治权力和暴力结构的利用而面临毁灭性的条件。通过主题和重构分析，我们关注 18 位参与者如何驾驭法律、政治、经济和文化影响的交叉点，以及他们工作中出现的复杂的伦理和道德困境、紧张局势和矛盾。基于他们的目击者叙述，我们试图了解移民的生活经历，并对结构性暴力（即嵌入社会结构和制度的暴力）和压迫条件进行批判性分析。我们研究了“团结”的概念，以及在地位不同的情况下以及在殖民、帝国、种族主义和新自由主义形式的结构性暴力的专业和制度再生产的背景下，包括在学院本身。并列经验和结构分析，我们希望进一步有助于更细致地理解交叉社会斗争和组织实现解放团结的潜力。
