Recenzje

"This lucid and cogent book is a most welcome addition to the growing literature on migration. It applies a sharp and sophisticated lens to the multiple processes by which migrants are made 'illegal,' challenging prevailing simplifications that depict illegal or undocumented migrants as culpable violators of legitimate border controls. With deft writing and a wonderfully broad span that stretches from national and international migration governance structures to the experiences of people affected by different forms of migration, the authors introduce the reader to some of the most challenging and urgent political and social problems of our time." Jacqueline Bhabha, Harvard University, and author of Can We Solve the Migration Crisis? "Drawing on examples from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, Undocumented Migration offers a rare comparative examination of undocumented migration and illegality. It is recommended reading for anyone interested in learning about one of the most important global population movements of our time." Leo R. Chavez, University of California, Irvine, and author of The Latino Threat: Constructing Immigrants, Citizens, and the Nation
