Cuerpos para la exportación: Cerezas de sangre
Aunque las características estructurales de un modelo agroexportador se sostienen gracias a la vulnerabilidad legal y social de los cuerpos migrantes racializados, bajo el gobierno de Kast se han intensificado la retórica antimigrante y las políticas de deportación, lo que empuja a los trabajadores a circuitos aún más informales y explotadores, a pesar de que la economía sigue dependiendo de su mano de obra. A partir de perspectivas de derechos humanos, de género e interculturales, el artículo expone cómo la xenofobia fragmenta a la clase trabajadora, desvía la atención de las crisis estructurales y normaliza la explotación como un costo aceptable de la prosperidad de las exportaciones.

Labor’s carve-outs criticised as blow to small business
Liberal MP Andrew Hastie accuses the Labor government of making it harder for young, risk-taking Australians to start a business. “They’re trying to minimise the damage now, which is why they’ve come up with carve-outs,” Mr Hastie told Sky News Australia. “But all they're doing is adding layers of bureaucracy to small businesses. “We believe they [small businesses] are the engine room of the Australian economy.”

Reform UK, the British political party that has been steadily converting English anxiety into electoral victories, has now proposed introducing visa restrictions on nationals of countries that are seeking reparations for the transatlantic slave trade. Read that again slowly. A British political party, in a country that ran the most profitable slave trading enterprise in Atlantic history, has proposed punishing African and Caribbean nations for having the temerity to ask for justice.
