Focusing on the lived experience of immigration policy and
processes, this volume provides fascinating insights into the
deportation process as it is felt and understood by those subjected
to it. The author presents a rich and innovative ethnography of
deportation and deportability experienced by migrants convicted of
criminal offenses in England and Wales. The unique perspectives
developed here - on due process in immigration appeals, migrant
surveillance and control, social relations and sense of self, and
compliance and resistance - are important for broader
understandings of border control policy and human rights.

This book provides new ethnographic perspectives on the
intersections between deportation, anxiety, and justice. As an
instrument for controlling international migration, deportation
policies may be justified by public authorities as measures
responding to anxieties over (unregulated) migration. At the same
time, they also bring out uncertainty and unrest to deportable and
deported migrants as well as to their social and institutional
environments, in which this act of the state may appear deeply
unjust. Providing new and complementary insights into what
'deportation' as a legal and policy measure actually embraces in
social reality, this book argues for an understanding of
deportation as a process that begins long before (and carries on
long after) the removal from one country to another has taken
place. It provides a transnational perspective over the
'deportation corridor', covering different places, sites, actors,
and institutions. Most importantly, it reasserts the emotional and
normative elements inherent to contemporary deportation policies
and practices, emphasising the interplay between deportation,
perceptions of justice, and national, institutional, and personal
anxieties. Written by leading experts in the field, the
contributions cover a broad spectrum of geographical sites,
deportation practices, and perspectives, bringing together a long
overdue addition to the current scholarship on deportation studies.
