Distilling Solidarity

Nermeen Arastu Linda Bosniak Barbara Buckinx Amelia Frank-Vitale Shannon Gleeson

Abstrak

In the aftermath of the 2018 migrant caravans, the Mexican government arrested two migrants’ rights activists,1 but not because they gave food or donated clothes to the caravaneros. The transgressive nature of their activism consisted of walking and organizing alongside people whose presence in the country was unauthorized. They were charged with smuggling-related crimes; but they were really “guilty” of solidarity. In this essay, we outline what solidarity entails, what compels various actors to join in, and to what end. From an interdisciplinary perspective, we discuss the “what,” “where,” “who,” and “why” of solidarity. The purpose is to open a new epistemological horizon, providing tools to collectively reflect on the complex issues at the intersection between solidarity, migration, and law.
