Required reading for everyone working on political and legal anthropology."-- "Political and Legal Anthropology Review" "A remarkable piece of scholarship. . . . Monumental."-- "American Ethnologist" "Multilayered and theoretically sophisticated. . . . A must-read for anyone studying global migration."-- "International Migration Review" "Path-breaking. . . . Exemplary."-- "Theory and Event" "Kahn's astonishing ethnography of the law and politics of America's interdiction of Haitian refugees at sea is heartrending, insightful, and necessary. No one concerned about the frightening history of the country's relationship to others at another troubling moment--and no one who cares about the discretionary sovereignty of the modern state and its borders--can afford to look away from the story Kahn tells in this major intervention."--Samuel Moyn, Yale Law School, author of Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World "This remarkable book chronicles the making of the US maritime border as a dialectic of sovereign will and legal reason. Using an impressive array of historical and ethnographic materials on Haitian interdiction, Kahn illuminates the tensions between water and land, refugee and migrant, and imaginaries and practices of jurisdiction that have shaped the legal and political geographies of asylum in the United States and beyond. This is a brilliant and timely intervention in contemporary debates around border securitization."--Ajantha Subramanian, Harvard University "Stunning. . . . Bristling with intelligence. . . . Gorgeous prose and incisive analysis." -- "Lawfare"
