We introduce an intersectional approach to the study of (ethnic) enterprise, reviewing the literature and using the articles in this special issue to demonstrate the utility of this perspective. We close by encouraging the use of this approach in future research.

China’s borderlands in the post-globalization era

However, the increase in scholarly attention on China&#39;s borderlands that is warranted by such economic, social, and political activities is absent. This special issue of China Information is committed to new research that addresses mounting challenges facing studies on China&#39;s borderlands, as well as borderland studies in general. This special issue presents the work of emerging scholars who investigate cross-border migration and the key characteristics of China&#39;s borderlands, focusing on previously understudied places that were out of the reach of scholars for years. These studies offer a lens through which the socioeconomic and politico-institutional changes in China&#39;s borderlands can be understood within the broader context of China&#39;s time-compressed global rise. A cursory glance at the research topics may give the impression that this special issue appears to investigate migratory phenomena in geographically remote places on the peripheries of the country. However, we suggest that China&#39;s rise is inseparable from, and critical to, a variety of complex phenomena that should be scrutinized and re-evaluated respectively in each contribution to this special issue. As areas experiencing rapid changes, China&#39;s borderlands are the sites of a multitude of processes embedded in the social transformation which affects the country&#39;s borderlands as much as its coastal regions. We begin this Introduction by reviewing new trends in global studies on China&#39;s borderlands and we explore how meetings between Chinese and global scholars in this field lead to re-examination, confusion, and controversy because borderland studies are undergoing a recalibration in China. We introduce a set of five research articles which integrate different, but not necessarily conflicting, perspectives on China&#39;s borderlands. We propose research and policy directions for a post-globalized world gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic and China&#39;s rapidly evolving border management regimes. This special issue aims to shed new light on our understanding of China&#39;s borderlands in the era of post-globalization, the rise of China, and the emerging significance of borderlands in regional, national, and local politics and economies. More importantly, we try Editorial

Building on LatCrit and critical race scholars, I analyze the function that immigration raids serve as a policing practice that maintains and reinforces subordinated status among working-class Latino citizens and immigrations. Using a case study approach, I analyze a five day immigration raid in 1997. locally referred to as the “Chandler Roundup.” Immigration policing constructed citizenship as visibly inscribed on bodies in specific urban spaces rather than “probable cause.” The Chandler Roundup fits into a larger pattern of immigration law enforcement practices that produce harms of reduction and repression and place Mexican Americans at risk before the law and designate them as second-class citizens with inferior rights.
