Guided by a critical and transnational framework, this qualitative study centers on the perspectives and analyses of activists and organizers working with migrants to the United States who face devastating conditions due to historical and ongoing exploitation of geopolitical powers and structures of violence. Through thematic and reconstructive analyses, we focus on how 18 participants navigate the intersections of legal, political, economic, and cultural implications, as well as complex ethical and moral dilemmas, tensions, and contradictions that emerged in their work. Grounded in their eyewitness narratives, we attempt to learn about the lived experiences of migrants and engage in critical analysis of structural violence (i.e., violence embedded in the social structures and institutions) and oppressive conditions. We examine the notion of "solidarity" and what it means to engage in anti-oppressive transnational solidarity with differentials in positionalities and against the backdrop of professional and institutional reproduction of colonial, imperial, racist, and neoliberal forms of structural violence, including within the academy itself. Juxtaposing empirical and structural analyses, we hope to further contribute to a more nuanced understanding of intersectional social struggles and the potential for organizing towards liberatory solidarity.
本研究采用批判性和跨国框架，重点关注与移民到美国的移民合作的活动家和组织者的观点和分析，这些移民因地缘政治权力和暴力结构的历史和持续剥削而面临毁灭性的条件。通过主题和重构分析，我们关注 18 名参与者如何在法律、政治、经济和文化影响以及他们工作中出现的复杂伦理和道德困境、紧张局势和矛盾中进行导航。我们扎根于他们的目击者叙述，试图了解移民的生活经历，并对结构性暴力（即嵌入社会结构和机构中的暴力）和压迫性条件进行批判性分析。我们研究了“团结”的概念，以及在不同立场和专业和机构对殖民、帝国主义、种族主义和新自由主义形式的结构性暴力的再生产的背景下，与压迫性的跨国团结的意义，包括在学术界本身。并置经验和结构分析，我们希望为更细致地理解交叉社会斗争以及组织争取解放团结的潜力做出更多贡献。
