43Returning to Revolution: Deleuze, Guattari and ZapatismoEdinburgh University Press. 2012.Introduction We have to try and think a little about the meaning of revolution.

80The Crossroads of Power: Michel Foucault and the US/Mexico Border WallFoucault Studies 15 110-128. 2013.This paper draws on the work of Michel Foucault in order to analyze the constellation of political strategies and power at the US/Mexico border wall. These strategies, however, are incredibly diverse and often directly antagonistic of one another. Thus, this paper argues that in order to make sense of the seemingly multiple and contradictory political strategies deployed in the operation of the US/Mexico border wall, we have to understand the coexistence and intertwinement of at least three dist…Read more

Deleuze finds in Spinoza a philosophy of immanent causality used to solve the problem of the relation between substance, attribute and mode as an expression of substance.

44Violence at the BordersRadical Philosophy Review 15 (1): 241-257. 2012.This paper argues that borders and violence against migrants no longer takes place exclusively at the geographical space between two sovereign territories. Instead border violence today has become much more normalized and diffused into society itself. An entire privatized industry now capitalizes on the cycle of transporting, incarcerating, hiring, and releasing non-status migrants. Similarly, however, resistance to this violence is also shifting from the older confrontation with sovereignty and…Read more
