Operation Gatekeeper and Beyond

For anyone interested in the cultural politics and political economies of boundaries, borders, nations and nationalism Operation Gatekeeper and Beyond is essential reading. The book provides us with a keen understanding of the specific political geographies of Operation Gatekeeper and the Northwest MexicoSouthwest USA border region, and their links to much broader neoliberalizing socio-spatial relations manifest in the current global political economy.Lawrence Berg, Community, Culture, and Global Studies, University of British Columbia

This is a terrific book that testifies with rigor and detail to the terrors daily imposed on illegalized immigrants by state territoriality. Nevins shows us that a specter is haunting the so-called borderless-world of business-class mobility: a specter of suffering and insecurity that demands real global solidarity and a new cross-border struggle for freedom and security for all.Matthew Sparke, Geography, University of Washington

With this revision of his classic work Operation Gatekeeper: The Rise of the Illegal Alien and the Remaking of the U.S.Mexico Boundary, author Joseph Nevins not only updates the ongoing story of immigration and illegalization that has made this subject such a firestorm of socio-political controversy in the United States today, but he also uses the history and current events of this case to examine deeply and provocatively the meaning of boundaries and identities in our era of globalization and economic interdependence.

Joseph Nevins is an Associate Professor of Geography at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. His writings have appeared in publications such as The Boston Review, Counterpunch.org, The International Herald Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, The Nation, The Washington Post, and Z Magazine. His previous books include A Not-so-Distant Horror: Mass Violence in East Timor, and Dying to Live: A Story of U.S. Immigration in an Age of Global Apartheid.

Acknowledgments

I have many people to thankfar too many to mention given the need to limit the books word length. So, instead of restating the names of the individuals to whom I expressed gratitude in the previous edition (to see this first acknowledgment, you can go to this books companion website at www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415996945), I limit my explicit gratitude here to those who helped me with this latest edition.
