Documenting undocumented motherhood

In this issue's cover story, a mother compiles a baby book for her son, documenting the ups and downs of pregnancy and parenthood while living as a migrant in Canada. The winners of our 2020 Writing in the Margins prize showcase photography, creative non-fiction, and poetry about decolonial direct action, the fallout of the Vietnam war, and diaspora blues. Plus: stories about Ducks Unlimited's control of the largest freshwater delta in North America; building internationalism from below amid a U.S.-China trade war; Land Back beyond borders; and Métis feminism.
