Opis

This text critically examines the various practices of anti-immigrantism in three Western democracies - the US, the UK and France - within the context of globalization and questions our understanding of the state. The volume draws upon the works of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and analyses their understanding of desire, its forms and its relation to the social order. Doty uses these concepts as a way to comprehend the forces at work in the social, political and economic life, to explore the impulses which move society towards various practices and policies, and finally to understand statecraft.
