of Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture, now publishing two issues 
per year

Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture, issue 3.2

This special issue of Crossings aims to de-westernize migration theories 
and practices. Saër Maty Bâ suggests that emerging migrant European 
populations bring the potential for new knowledge to film and visual 
culture studies and attempts to make disciplines borderless by 
questioning methodological orthodoxy. Claudio Canaparo also proposes a 
conceptual alternative with which to think through notions of migration, 
dissecting three areas of radical constructivism. Patti Gaal-Holmes and 
Sally Shaw explore notions of 'home' and formations of identity by 
examining space-related memory and the British film Black Joy, 
respectively, while Ruth Doughty discusses the forced migration of 
African Americans from their homes in New Orleans following Hurricane 
Katrina and the consequent, problematic association of black identity 
with foreignness. The visualization of migrant presence in the work of 
diasporic women artists is analyzed by Roshini Kempadoo, and Deborah 
Shaw contributes a survey of filmic representations of migrations from 
Mexico and Central America to the United States. Finally, Will Higbee 
argues for the need to explore music and sound in Maghrebi-French and 
other diasporic and postcolonial cinema.
