Reviews

Tristan Josephson critically examines how three very different policy regimes--asylum, immigration through marriage, and immigration detention--distill transgender migrants into the 'deserving' and everyone else. An indispensable contribution to the scholarship on trans migrants that exposes the limits of a politics of recognition. --Paisley Currah author of Sex is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity

"""Tristan Josephson critically examines how three very different policy regimes—asylum, immigration through marriage, and immigration detention—distill transgender migrants into the 'deserving' and everyone else. An indispensable contribution to the scholarship on trans migrants that exposes the limits of a politics of recognition.""— Paisley Currah, author of Sex is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity ""The first in depth study of U.S. transgender immigration policy, On Transits and Transitions deftly illuminates the U.S immigration policy in which transgender became a recognized asylum seeker category. By brilliantly exploding the myth that more visibility and recognition for marginalized transgender people means expanded justice and equity, Josephson teaches us that citizenship and national belonging are not 'equal opportunity,' but are instead subject to inequitable racial, national, and gender hierarchies that persist even as we might assume they are improving.""— Aren Z. Aizura, author of Mobile Subjects: Transnational Imaginaries of Gender Reassignment"
