Patrolling the Homeland explores the tension surrounding the
militarization of national borders through the perspective of US
militia volunteers. Amidst a humanitarian crisis in which more than
7,800 people have lost their lives attempting to cross the border,
US militias patrol the deserts along the Mexican border in
camouflage, armed with assault rifles and night-vision goggles to
"protect" the US. How and why US border militias conduct their
activities is paramount to understanding similar movements,
ideologies, and rhetoric around the world that oppose the movement
of refugees and support the closing or restriction of international
and regional borders. Based on extensive and engaging ethnography,
Patrolling the Homeland explores not how people strive to be moral
but how they maintain their self-perception as already and always
moral individuals in spite of evidence to the contrary. This book
signifies a creative and unique addition to morality and ethics
through an honest and critical examination of a unique social
movement indicative of contemporary society. A valuable read for
anthropologists, sociologists, criminologists, and individuals
interested in morality and ethics, militias, border studies, and
policing.
