Boats, Borders, and Bases

"Exploring where few scholars have ventured--'remote' sites in the United States and overseas--Loyd and Mountz greatly enrich our understanding of how the enormous U.S. border policing regime and (im)migrant confinement apparatus have arisen. Via sharp historical-geographical analysis, they powerfully illuminate the sordid intersection of militarism, racism, and national exclusion." --Joseph Nevins, Professor of Geography, Vassar College "We have been waiting for this book. Loyd and Mountz bring together multiple histories crucial to understanding U.S. practices of migrant detention and imprisonment. This book should be required reading for anyone invested in challenging the criminalization of migrants and the escalating violence of U.S. policing and imprisonment regimes." --A. Naomi Paik, author of Rightlessness: Testimony and Redress in U.S. Prison Camps since World War II
