Our first collaborative piece is out!

We write about how the rush to re-open borders for the sake of the “economy” is putting precarious workers’ lives in danger in Canada and the Caribbean. We address how nation-state borders operate hand-in-hand with borders created between humans – those who are protected, and those whose lives are expendable – in racialized, classed, and gendered ways that naturalize inequality. We ultimately argue that we need to re-think the privileging of ‘the economy’ and think, instead, from the lives of those most precarious.
