Across the globe, states have long aimed to control the movement of
people, identify their citizens, and restrict noncitizens' rights
through official identification documents. Although states are now
less likely to grant permanent legal status, they are increasingly
issuing new temporary and provisional legal statuses to migrants.
Meanwhile, the need for migrants to apply for frequent renewals
subjects them to more intensive state surveillance. The
contributors to Paper Trails examine how these new developments
change migrants' relationship to state, local, and foreign
bureaucracies. The contributors analyze, among other toics,
immigration policies in the United Kingdom, the issuing of driver's
licenses in Arizona and New Mexico, the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals program, and community know-your-rights
campaigns. By demonstrating how migrants are inscribed into
official bureaucratic systems through the issuance of
identification documents, the contributors open up new ways to
understand how states exert their power and how migrants must
navigate new systems of governance. Contributors. Bridget Anderson,
