It's officially publication day for our book, The Way Out! It's been a long road. Rebecca and I started working together in 2019, & it's fair to say that the context shifted under our feet as we wrote & thought. Get the text 30% off with code UCPSAVE30 at ucpress.edu/books/the-way-ou…

This is a core theme of the book I'm writing.
Latin America has long had liberal democratic laws, but real power has often resided elsewhere, with what I call 'parallel powers.'
Landowners' enforcers, paramilitaries, or today, organized crime groups, tolerated, bargained...

The photograph on the front of the book is of a flower trapped in ice, taken by the incredibly talented Carlos Saavedra as part of his series 'Limipia' on the trans community in Colombia. You can follow more of his work here: instagram.com/carlosaavedra7…

To wrap up the year, I am happy to share a new article, written with Anna Corrigan, in Security Dialogue.
Using political theory and cultural studies, we present a theory of transformative aesthetics to show how art reshapes political life after violence

Considering the works of Lucila Quieto and Doris Salcedo, we analyze how their artistic practices in Latin America corrupt the intimate material of domestic life to display the fragments left after enforced disappearance, thereby confronting the stigma placed on grieving families

We argue that these pieces constitute materialities of dissent that center intimate domestic items as objects of political critique, conceptualizing artistic production and its associated material intimate practice in domestic spaces as crucial sites of meaning and politics.

1/ Ayer la administración Trump retiró asistencia económica para Colombia en la “guerra contra las drogas” y sigue atacando lanchas supuestamente usadas para traficar cocaína en el Caribe y el Pacífico. Decisiones peligrosas y principalmente simbólicas. 🧵

#homefront article of the week: @SamRitholtz presents an unflinching study of anti-#LGBTQ brutality in the #ColumbianCivilWar—and the tabloid coverage that shamefully promoted it & thus perpetuated #stigma. Disquieting, graphic, & sadly essential reading. doi.org/p5v9

🛤️Displacement should never mean more danger. 🏳️🌈While fleeing persecution, many #LGBT refugees face continued threats; on the road, at borders, and in shelters meant to protect them. 🙌It’s time to ensure safety, dignity, and rights every step of the way.
