Brilliant activist and author Harsha Walias new book: A liberatory vision for immigrant rights is one that is based less on pathways to citizenship in a settler state, but one that questions the logics of the settler state itself. Harsha’s very important text shows a way forward for building a holistic movement to oppose anti-immigration oppression. Solidarity work between immigrant peoples, nonimmigrant people of color, and Indigenous peoples must go beyond coalition politics based on the assumption that we are all “oppressed.” Rather, Harsha asks us to look at how anti-immigrant xenophobia, white supremacy, and settler colonialism are mutually reinforcing in ways that actually prevent us from seeing how these logics are fully connected. Only by doing this kind of careful intellectual and activist work needed to understand how these logics are interrelated can we be in a position to dismantle them. - Indigenous feminist Andrea Smith, excerpt from Preface to Undoing Border Imperialism.
