Operation Gatekeeper and Beyond: The War On "Illegals" and the Remaking of the U.S. – Mexico Boundary
Autor Joseph Nevinsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 feb 2010
A companion website is available at www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415996945. The Companion Website contains key U.S. government documents related to the boundary and immigration enforcement strategy; reports from non-partisan research entities and non-governmental organizations that evaluate enforcement from a civil and human rights perspective; and studies that investigate migrant deaths in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. There are also photo essays, including one related to deportations and another to California’s Border Field State Park, for which the site also includes historic photos and other resources. Finally, the site has links to websites—from U.S. government agencies involved in boundary and immigrant policing, to humanitarian and border, migrant, and human rights organizations.

Recenzii
"...an exaustively researched and well-organized compendium of information on the history and making of the Mexico-U.S boundary...The book's strength lies in its conceptual emphasis on immigration policy as a political-economic process rooted in deep-seated sociocultural agendas that materialize across time and space. [This] book will be helpful in bringing the illegal immigration debate into the larger discourse about globalization and the post 9/11 future of the Mexico-U.S border." -- International Migration Review, Vol. 36, No. 4 Winter 2002
"Nevins' research is highly original...skillfully introduces academic material within a compelling narrative. The ideas are fresh, the scholarly debates are fully engaged, and the storyline never lags." -- Annals of the Association of American Geographers
"Bill Clinton launched Operation Gatekeeper in 1994...Nevins demonstrates how this politcally motivated policy failed to significantly reduce unauthorized border crossings." -- Foreign Affairs
"...a richly descriptive historical volume about the US Border Patrol strategy to enhance the enforcement of boundaries since 1994." -- Choice
"Nevins meticulously deconstructs this political, and above all, human phenomenon in a thorough and penetrating text. Operation Gatekeeper could not be more timely: literally, there are lives on the line." -- Rubén Martínez, author of Crossing Over: A Mexican Family on the Migrant Trail
"Operation Gatekeeper gives a forensic-like analysis of the U.S.-Mexican border, and efforts to control the human resources on both its sides. Indispensable to scholars and anyone wanting to know why the border is still contested ground." -- Rodolfo F. Acuña, author of Occupied America: A History of Chicanos
"An important and timely book. Not only does Nevins provide a convincing indictment of U.S. policy on the Mexican border (a policy that has increased deaths, driven down wages, and shown the U.S. to be anything but the open, tolerant society is likes to proclaim itself to be). He also provides a rich account of the historical and contemporary context that has made Operation Gatekeeper central to rising American Nationalism." -- Don Mitchell, author of The Lie of the Land: Migrant Workers and the California Landscape
"Add[s] significantly to the literature on Mexican migration... free of the uninformed claims and inflammatory language that characterizes so much of the literature on this topic." -- Political Science Quarterly
"Well-researched and important." -- American Historical Review
"The book was highly successful in these semesters. Students were thrilled to be reading the latest immigration scholarship and Nevins' prose is accessible, serious, and measured. Students felt like they were reading the "real deal" on immigration, which is often bloated on all sides of the debate with hyperbole, polemics, and misinformation. Nevins' text is not only carefully researched, it's policy analysis that bears fruit. He provides historical background, theoretical underpinnings, and a sense of the local that is key to understanding the borderlands." David Hernandez, UCLA
"I thought Gatekeeper was very useful as did my students. We all agreed that it was an extremely insightful book, especially since it raised some important questions that we could then ask about the particularities of Operation Safeguard in AZ where we see the effects of firsthand, increased border violence, militarization of our communities, unprecedented migrant deaths in the desert that rise exponentially each year, but also importantly set ithem within larger global processes. Although there are other books that look historically at immigration – and we used Chacon and Davis for understanding farm worker migration to California and its historical antecedents - what Gatekeeper does and does very well is look at a particular socioeconomic and political context, that is the US- Mexico boundary, its relationship to more global set of forces as well as how they play out on the ground, that includes the contradictions that emerge both empirically and conceptually." Linda Green, Anthropology, University of Arizona
"I will begin teaching a course called Migration Politics in a Globalizing World next year, and I would probably want to use it for that. I don’t think there’s anything that can compete with it within the same topical area. In geography there is a real lack of and need for books for undergraduates that are readable and theoretically challenging at the same time." Mary Washington, Geogrqphy, University of New Mexico
"The first edition of Operation Gatekeeper has been widely influential in migration and border studies. I assign it to all my advanced students, and I think about its provocative arguments often. The second edition goes well beyond brief updating. It provides altogether new considerations and observations, and will prove essential for students and scholars of these issues."—Josiah Heyman, Anthropology, University of Texas at El Paso
"Operation Gatekeeper and Beyond is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the complex constellation of social, political, and economic forces that gave rise to the criminalization of undocumented immigrants. Nevins powerfully illustrates how this on-going phenomena is linked to statecraft in an era in which globalization both diminishes and reinforces the sovereignty, power and relevance of the nation-state."—Roxanne Doty, Political Science, Arizona State University
"Joe Nevins puts forth a nuanced and path-breaking political history of "illegal migrants." This study holistically examines the growing social divide between those with rights in the US and those denied them, between the privileged and the subordinated and, fundamentally, between the law and the realization of justice. It is a must-read for those seeking a fuller understanding of how the US war against "illegals" is a part of a contemporary system of apartheid."—Nandita Sharma, Ethnic Studies, University of Hawaii
"In this updated second edition, Nevins...presents readers with a thorough assessment of the US's ever-evolving immigration policies. ...His analysis is fresh and unique. ...[The book] is well written and should be of interest to a wide variety of geographers, political scientists, economists, and Latin Americanists." —J. S. Robey, University of Texas at Brownsville in Choice
