"They Look At Us Like Parasites": The Corporeal Stigmatization and Pathologization of Deportees in Tijuana, Mexico
1Department of Latin American & Latino Studies, UC Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, California, USA.
Abstract:
This article examines the embodied and institutional forms of marginalization experienced by Mexican deportees in Tijuana. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in clinics and social service organizations, it explores how deportees are corporeally stigmatized, denied legal recognition, and pathologized as addicts in need of coercive rehabilitation. Deportees are subjected to carceral and medicalized interventions that blur the boundaries between care and punishment. The article calls for greater attention to how deportation regimes operate transnationally to manage and discipline displaced populations through a convergence of biopolitical and necropolitical practices.
