Keeping Out the Other
A Critical Introduction to Immigration Enforcement Today

Edited by David C. Brotherton and Philip Kretsedemas

"This is one of the most critical examinations of the deep flaws in our 
laws and enforcement practices concerning the foreigner. . . This 
collection pinpoints with frightening precision. . . the extent to which 
these deep flaws are not an aberration or a malfunction but actually an 
intrinsic part of our law."--Saskia Sassen, author of Territory, 
Authority, Rights: From Medieval to Global Assemblages

David C. Brotherton and Philip Kretsedemas provide a history and 
analysis of recent immigration enforcement in the United States. With 
contributions from social scientists, policy analysts, legal experts, 
community organizers, and journalists, the volume critically examines 
the discourse that has framed the question of immigration enforcement 
for the general public. It also explores the politics and practice of 
deportation, new forms of immigrant profiling, relevant case law, and 
antiterrorist operations.
