In this episode, we move from Stephen Best’s None Like Us (2018) to a kind of flip side of diasporic belonging, the violent practices that constitute citizenship. We focus our discussion on Cristina Beltrán’s Cruelty as Citizenship (2020) as we consider how the pleasures of cruelty are scripturalizing practices, and scriptures are that “something significant,” that sanctified border, that binds citizenship together through exclusion.
