Many political figures insist that their anti-immigration
sentiments have nothing to do with race and racism. Americans seem
largely unconvinced, which is why politicians must protest so
loudly and often. In order to deflect accusations of racism, public
figures evoke the neo-liberal principle that calls for protection
of state health and resources. Yet contemporary philosophers such
as Hanna Arendt, Michel Foucault, and Giorgio Agamben argue that
neo-liberal ideology is racist. Sokthan Yeng applies their analysis
to the debate over immigration policies to show that neo-liberalism
not only recodes traditional racist rhetoric but also expands
systemic racism. Politicians can say that their anti-immigration
policies are meant to protect the nation's economy and strength. It
is no coincidence, however, that the populations most affected by
these regulations are ethnic and cultural minorities such as
Mexican and Muslim immigrants. The analysis presented in The
Biopolitics of Race will be valuable to philosophers and other
scholars or students interested in critical race theory, feminism,
and queer theory. It also has implications for anyone working in
public health, bioethics, or migration studies.
