Border walls permeate our world, with more than thirty
nation-states constructing them. Anthropologists Margaret E. Dorsey
and Miguel Diaz-Barriga argue that border wall construction
manifests transformations in citizenship practices that are aimed
not only at keeping migrants out but also at enmeshing citizens
into a wider politics of exclusion. For a decade, the authors
studied the U.S.-Mexico border wall constructed by the Department
of Homeland Security and observed the political protests and legal
challenges that residents mounted in opposition to the wall. In
Fencing in Democracy Dorsey and Diaz-Barriga take us to those
border communities most affected by the wall and often ignored in
national discussions about border security to highlight how the
state diminishes citizens' rights. That dynamic speaks to the
citizenship experiences of border residents that is indicative of
how walls imprison the populations they are built to protect.
Dorsey and Diaz-Barriga brilliantly expand conversations about
citizenship, the operation of U.S. power, and the implications of
border walls for the future of democracy.
