Congratulations to Tanvi Misra, one of our 2024 LANDO Writers of Note, for her nonfiction work The Body Political: How Borders Affect the Human Body.
Borders surveil, map, inspect and ultimately disappear human bodies on the move. The Body Political explains how and why that harms society as a whole.
Tanvi is a New York-based writer and multimedia journalist covering migration, urban policy, and criminal justice. Her writing spans genres, ranging from award-winning features and essays to political analyses and investigations.
An exciting update from Tanvi: “I have written almost 5,000 words of a new
chapter and revised one of the old ones. Still some ways to go, but I’m chipping away at it.”
