“Shadeism: Digging Deeper” Indiegogo Campaign

Peace, folks. We just wanted to send through an important update on behalf of our team that the ”Shadeism: Digging Deeper“ Indiegogo Campaignwill be ending THIS Sunday, March 17th @ 11:59pm! At this point, we’ve raised just over $6,300. Our total goal for the campaign is $15K and we still believe we can reach that with your support! Please donate where possible and please share with your networks (email, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, blogs, phone calls, face-to-face chats, etc). We are really trying to push hard this last week and raise the remaining funds needed for: 1) Post-Production Costs, 2) Curriculum Development, and 3) Self-Care Toolkit. We are grateful for all of your support so far, and we hope that we can work together with you all in this last big push, before we finally pull the pieces of this story together and share it with the world. Here’s to hoping we reach that goal!

Sharam Khosravi - Illegal Traveller: An Auto-Ethnography of Borders 

PDF

In ‘Illegal’ Traveller, Shahram Khosravi explores the issue of borders and border crossing in the era of globalization and transnationalism, analyzing how the nation-state system regulates movements of people. In doing do, Khosravi contends that freedom of mobility for some is only possible through the organized exclusion of others. 

Khosravi examines how migrant illegality is configured in the contemporary world and explores what it means to be an ‘illegal’ migrant. The focus is on a multifaceted picture of what migrant illegality is like for those who find themselves in this position. Based on his own journey and informants’ border narratives, he investigates the nature of borders, border politics, and the rituals and performances of border crossing. By focusing on individual experiences he draws attention to the implementation of policy and law. Border stories reveal the interaction between agency and structure in migratory experiences. They offer a human portrait of illegal travellers.
