“This collection is truly impressive. It demonstrates the importance of deportation as a mechanism for producing citizenship and alienage, nations, states, and territories in both theory and practice.” - Bridget Anderson, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute “This volume does a superb job of theorizing deportation beyond a mere act;in doing so we get a greater appreciation of how such acts are intricately linked to nation-state projects under globalization and have economic implications. It also points out the implications such a regime has for individuals’ experiences of freedom.” - Joanna Dreby, American Studies “The Deportation Regime is an important and timely book, both for theory and for politics. A series of well-written case studies (from across the world) accompanied by a smart introduction by Nicholas De Genova, the collection urges us to see the undocumented migrant/sans papiers/deportable alien/stateless citizen as paradigmatic of our time, as norm rather than exception, and thus as constitutive of sovereignty and the political today.”-Charles Piot, author of Remotely Global: Village Modernity in West Africa “This valuable collection of essays treating deportation as a distinct form of state social control shows convincingly that deportation demands more specific attention from social theorists. The ethnographically rich and theoretically informed essays provide fascinating case studies on the functioning of the deportation regime in different national settings.”-Linda Bosniak, author of The Citizen and the Alien: Dilemma of Contemporary Membership “This collection is truly impressive. It demonstrates the importance of deportation as a mechanism for producing citizenship and alienage, nations, states, and territories in both theory and practice.” - Bridget Anderson (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute) “This volume does a superb job of theorizing deportation beyond a mere act; in doing so we get a greater appreciation of how such acts are intricately linked to nation-state projects under globalization and have economic implications.
