This exciting new reader in environmental history provides a
framework for understanding the relations between ecosystems and
world-systems over time. Alf Hornborg, J. R. McNeill, and Joan
Martinez-Alier have brought together a group of the foremost
writers from the social, historical, and geographical sciences to
provide an overview of the ecological dimension of global, economic
processes, with a long-term, historical perspective. Readers are
challenged to integrate studies of the Earth-system with studies of
the world-system, and to reconceptualize the relations between
human beings and their environment, as well as the challenges of
global sustainability.

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,
Deborah A. Boehm, Susan Bibler Coutin, Ruth Gomberg-Munoz, Sarah B.

Mass deportation is at the forefront of political discourse in the
United States. The Shadow of the Wall shows in tangible ways the
migration experiences of hundreds of people, including their
encounters with U.S. Border Patrol, cartels, detention facilities,
and the deportation process. Deportees reveal in their
heartwrenching stories the power of family separation and
reunification and the cost of criminalization, and they call into
question assumptions about human rights and federal policies. The
authors analyze data from the Migrant Border Crossing Study (MBCS),
a mixed-methods, binational research project that offers socially
relevant, rigorous social science about migration, immigration
enforcement, and violence on the border. Using information gathered
from more than 1,600 post-deportation surveys, this volume examines
the different faces of violence and migration along the
Arizona-Sonora border and shows that deportees are highly connected
to the United States and will stop at nothing to return to their
families. The Shadow of the Wall underscores the unintended social
consequences of increased border enforcement, immigrant
criminalization, and deportation along the U.S.-Mexico border.
