A piercing critique of alternative regimes/imaginations of immigration by the ever erudite Dr. Lakmali Jayasinghe. Especially timely given the recent mass deportations. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

This year's NeMLA convention featured several panels on immigration literature. It was great to meet many like-minded scholars who do the important work of amplifying stories from the margins,& to present my paper on epistemological resistance in contemporary immigrant literature
