Within a trans-embodied framework, this anthology identifies
transmovimientos as the creative force or social mechanism through which queer, trans, and gender non-conforming Latinx communities navigate their location and calibrate their consciousness. This anthology unveils a critical perspective with the emphasis on queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of immigrants and social dissidents who reflect and write about diaspora, migratory movements and navigate geographical and embodied spaces across gendered and racialized contexts, all crucial elements of the trans-movements taking place in the United States.
This collection forms a nuanced conversation between scholarship and social activism that speaks in concrete ways about diasporic and migratory LGBTQ communities who suffer from immoral immigration policies and political discourses that produce untenable living situations. The focal point of analysis throughout
Transmovimientos examines migratory movements and the anti-immigrant sentiment, homophobia, and stigma toward people who are transgender, immigrants, and refugees. These deliberate consciousness-based expressions are designed to realign awareness about the body in transit, the diasporic experience of relocating and emerging into new possibilities.
