The topic of 'illegal' immigration has been a major aspect of
public discourse in the United States and many other
immigrant-receiving countries. From the beginning of its modern
invocation in the early twentieth century, the often ill-defined
epithet of human 'illegality' has figured prominently in the media;
in vigorous public debates at the national, state, and local
levels; and in presidential campaigns. In this collection of
essays, contributors from a variety of disciplines - anthropology,
law, political science, religious studies, and sociology - examine
how immigration law shapes immigrant illegality, how the concept of
immigrant illegality is deployed and lived, and how its power is
wielded and resisted. The authors conclude that the current concept
of immigrant illegality is in need of sustained critique, as
careful analysis will aid policy discussions and lead to more just
solutions.
