This important collection examines deportation as an increasingly
global mechanism of state control. Anthropologists, historians,
legal scholars, and sociologists consider not only the physical
expulsion of noncitizens but also the social discipline and labor
subordination resulting from deportability, the threat of forced
removal. They explore practices and experiences of deportation in
regional and national settings from the U.S.-Mexico border to
Israel, and from Somalia to Switzerland. They also address broader
questions, including the ontological significance of freedom of
movement; the historical antecedents of deportation, such as
banishment and exile; and the development, entrenchment, and
consequences of organizing sovereign power and framing individual
rights by territory.
Whether investigating the power that individual and corporate
sponsors have over the fate of foreign laborers in Bahrain, the
implications of Germany's temporary suspension of deportation
orders for pregnant and ill migrants, or the significance of the
detention camp, the contributors reveal how deportation reflects
and reproduces notions about public health, racial purity, and
class privilege. They also provide insight into how deportation and
deportability are experienced by individuals, including Arabs,
South Asians, and Muslims in the United States. One contributor
looks at asylum claims in light of an unusual anti-deportation
campaign mounted by Algerian refugees in Montreal; others analyze
the European Union as an entity specifically dedicated to governing
mobility inside and across its official borders. "The Deportation
Regime" addresses urgent issues related to human rights,
international migration, and the extensive security measures
implemented by nation-states since September 11, 2001.
