This is a thoroughly researched account that delves into the affective and political implications of memory and mourning in the context of collective struggles against border necropolitics, feminicide and the coloniality of migration. In its vivid detail and energetic commitment, the book traces situated acts of remembering and resisting modern colonial intersectional violence, thereby calling for a feminist intersectional framework that engages grief as a method to mobilize entangled temporalities of antiracist solidarity, collective care and social justice. - Athena Athanasiou, Professor, Department of Social Anthropology, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences This is an original and groundbreaking theoretical elaboration of the political communal labor of mourning and the possibilities of creating a caring common. Encarnacion Gutierrez Rodriguez de-velops a highly sophisticated discussion about decolonial mourning as affective labor in the context of migration, border controls, and racial capitalism. The book also documents collective forms of organizing and mourning in the wake of racist violence, extinction, and feminicide. The book is essential reading for all those interested in understanding the politics of death and violence, but also in thinking about how to collectively work towards a caring common. - Suvi Keskinen, Professor of Ethnic Relations, University of Helsinki, FinlandMore details
