Graduate Reading Room - Keynote Address by Dr. Deborah A. Boehm
Going Back: Tracing the Temporalities and Geographies of Deportation

This talk considers the deportation of Mexican nationals from the United States, focusing on migrants with ties to the Mexican states of San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas and several locations throughout the U.S. West. The narratives of deportees and those close to them repeatedly focus on uncertainty and insecurity about future events and locations. I outline the imagined and halted futures of deportees, situating forced removals within time and place, including histories of return and contemporary transnational lives. While the U.S. state deports Mexican nationals with a sense of finality, those affected by deportation?including even deportees themselves?have few options outside of future migration to the United States. Agricultural hardship in home communities, a global economic crisis, and increasing violence throughout Mexico are likely to link the trajectories of deportees to continued transnational movement.

Deborah A. Boehm is assistant professor with a joint appointment in Anthropology and Women's Studies/Gender, Race, and Identity at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her areas of specialization include Transnationalism and borderlands, gender studies, and childhood and family. She is the author of Intimate Migrations: Gender, Family, and Illegality among Transnational Mexicans (2012, New York University Press) and co-editor of Everyday Ruptures: Children, Youth, and Migration in Global Perspective (Vanderbilt University Press, 2011). She has worked with Mexican migrants in both Mexico and the United States, including a year in Mexico as a Fulbright-García Robles Scholar.
