This edited text explores immigration detention through a global
and transnational lens. Immigration detention is frequently
transnational; the complex dynamics of apprehending, detaining, and
deporting undocumented immigrants involve multiple organizations
that coordinate and often act across nation state boundaries. The
lives of undocumented immigrants are also transnational in nature;
the detention of immigrants in one country (often without due
process and without providing the opportunity to contact those in
their country of origin) has profound economic and emotional
consequences for their families. The authors explore immigration
detention in countries that have not often been previously explored
in the literature. Some of these chapters include analyses of
detention in countries such as Malaysia, South Africa, Turkey and
Indonesia. They also present chapters that are comparative in
nature and deal with larger, macro issues about immigration
detention in general. The authors' frequent usage of lived
experience in conjunction with a broad scholarly knowledge base is
what sets this volume apart from others, making it useful and
practical for scholars in the social sciences and anybody
interested in the global phenomenon of immigration detention.
