Reconfiguring North-South solidarity: Critical reflections on experiences of transnational resistance

This paper presents a critical reflection on transnational solidarity between the movement to close the School of the Americas in the United States and H.I.J.@.S.-Vancouver, made up of Latin Americans living in exile in Canada. We analyze what solidarity looks and feels like from the insiders' perspective in order to critically reflect on the ways in which "empire as a way of life" in the US shapes the geometries of power in relations of solidarity. Our analysis is the product of a collaborative research and writing project.
