Since 2004, Haiti has been under foreign occupation. The nature and history of this occupation are contested, but the facts of occupation can be easily documented. This essay deploys the timeline technique as ethnographic narrative and analysis—as well as testimony and archive—to demonstrate how consistent the imperial assault on Haitian people and Haitian sovereignty has been and remains. I see this project as offering a set of theoretical and analytical tools that force direct engagement with the messiness of neocolonial imperialism while showing how Haitian people themselves reject and contest imperialism's presumed inevitability.

Black Dominicans of Haitian descent in the Reconoci.do movement often state that denationalization policies in the Dominican Republic have caused their muertes civiles, or civil deaths. Although Reconoci.do’s members organize to fight against their figurative deaths, their struggles are not limited to a fight for legal recognition. They also fight for survival in the context of higher rates of death as a direct result of systemic racism and social exclusion. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research in the Dominican Republic, this article explores resistance to the deaths of Black individuals who form part of a large‐scale movement against statelessness. I engage Christina Sharpe’s analysis of “wake work” in order to examine “Black people’s ability to everywhere and anywhere … produce in, into, and through the wake an insistence on existing” (2016, 11). I analyze Reconoci.do’s activism as wake work to interpret the movement’s manifestations of resistance to death by racism.

This article addresses the ways in which Afro‐Colombians in the region of María la Baja, Colombia, re‐signify their contentious bodies amidst parallel peace and war efforts. After over sixty years of war, the government and armed paramilitary forces continue to frame Afro‐Colombian campesinos (rural farmers) as both innocent victims and guerrilla combatants. Given the legacies of racialized marginalization, how do Afro‐Colombian communities stake claims to lost land and violent pasts when their very bodies are presumed to challenge their innocence? I illustrate how individuals use their contentious bodies to resist militant and bureaucratic attempts to label them as perpetrators of violence. Afro‐Colombian farmers enact embodied evidence, such as calloused farming hands, to assert their dignity and victimization. Through these corporeal and visual self‐assertions, I examine the ways in which intersectional signifiers—including territory, ethnicity, gender, and class—are simultaneously read and performed within the context of war and peacetime violence.
这篇文章探讨了哥伦比亚María la Baja地区的非裔哥伦比亚人在平行的和平与战争努力中重新表达他们有争议的身体的方式。经过60多年的战争，政府和准军事武装继续将非裔哥伦比亚农民视为无辜受害者和游击队战斗人员。考虑到种族化边缘化的遗留问题，当非裔哥伦比亚人的身体被认为对他们的清白提出质疑时，他们如何对失去的土地和暴力过去提出索赔？我举例说明了个人如何利用他们有争议的身体来抵制激进分子和官僚机构将他们定性为暴力肇事者的企图。非裔哥伦比亚农民制定具体的证据，如长满老茧的农手，以维护他们的尊严和受害。通过这些物质和视觉上的自我断言，我研究了在战争和和平时期暴力的背景下，交叉能指——包括领土、种族、性别和阶级——被同时阅读和执行的方式。

R. C. Lord, Pelau Masqueerade, Making Caribbean Queer, Diasporic Space, IN The, Toronto Pride Parade
This essay focuses on the Caribbean cultural practices used by queer diasporic people to make space in the Toronto Queer Pride Parade. It locates the specific ways Trinidad Carnival traditions of resistance and vernacular are subverted and rearranged by Pelau MasQUEERade, a self‐identified Caribbean queer diasporic group comprised of Black queer and queer people of color. The author draws on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with Pelau MasQUEERade to illustrate how they create Caribbean queer diasporic space using a queer jouvay practice that consists of putting together different ingredients and components to queer and transform Trinidad Carnival for Pride. Pelau MasQUEERade enables new meanings and affiliations to be made by reaching out to Trinidad Carnival as part of its way of making Caribbean queer diasporic space in Canada.
