Allison B. Wolf is associate professor of philosophy and affiliated faculty at the Center for Immigration at Universidad de los Andes, in Bogotá, Colombia.

Trained in the field of philosophy, Wolf (Univ. de los Andes, Colombia) makes an important intervention in philosophical studies of immigration by introducing an oppression-centered model grounded in the work of feminist political thinkers. Philosophers often ignore or undertheorize immigration, while the majority who study immigration usually provide analyses that are irrelevant or disconnected from the realities of the immigrant experience. Wolf highlights how unfairly Latin American immigrants are treated once they cross the border into a new nation—be it the US or another Latin American nation—and juxtaposes their experience and treatment with that of immigrants from Europe and the US. In this expansive and empirical work, the author demonstrates the injustices of current immigration policies enacted in both the US and parts of Latin America, arguing that the systems in place are oppressive in ways that strip immigrants of color of their humanity. Wolf uses her lived experience as a privileged European immigrant in Colombia and also cites monographs; scholarly articles; newspaper, magazine, and online articles; and legal and government documents, such as court cases, as evidence to further her argument, drawing from the works of theorists, philosophers, journalists, social scientists, and government officials. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels.
