Excellent- More about On Transits and Transitions: Trans Migrants and U.S. Immigration Law
The "transgender tipping point" of the twenty-first century coincided with increased debates and anxieties about immigration in the United States. On Transits and Transitions examines the increased visibility of trans people in the public sphere and provides a counter-narrative to the dominant discourse that the inclusion of transgender issues in law and policy represents the progression of legal equality for trans communities. It focuses on the intersection of immigration and trans rights and captures the insecurity and precarity created by U.S. immigration control and related processes of racialization to show how im/mobility conditions citizenship and national belonging for trans migrants in the United States.

In the second decade of the twenty-first century, the "transgender tipping point" was marked by celebrations alongside intense debates and anxieties surrounding immigration in the United States. Josephson's book, On Transits and Transitions, delves into the profound implications of the increased visibility of trans individuals in public spaces for trans migrants. It challenges the prevailing narrative that the inclusion of transgender issues in law and policy signifies the advancement of legal equality for trans communities. By examining the intersection of immigration and trans rights, Josephson offers a meticulous and groundbreaking analysis of how the category of transgender is constructed and integrated into critical areas such as asylum law, marriage and immigration law, and immigration detention policies. Through a mobility-centric lens, On Transits and Transitions sheds light on the insecurity and precarity experienced by trans migrants in the United States as a result of U.S. immigration control and related processes of racialization. It demonstrates how im/mobility conditions citizenship and national belonging for trans migrants, highlighting the complexities and challenges they face in navigating a society that often excludes and marginalizes them.
