Summary:

Immigration detention, a compelling and tragic phenomenon of the 21st century, is frequently transnational. The complex dynamics of apprehending, detaining, and deporting undocumented immigrants involve multiple organizations that coordinate and often act across nation state boundaries. Also transnational in nature are the lives of undocumented immigrants; the detention of immigrants in one country can have profound economic and emotional consequences for their families. In Detaining the immigrant Other, a close look is given to immigration detention in countries that have not often been previously explored in the literature. While some chapters include analyses of detention in countries such as Malaysia, South Africa, Turkey, and Indonesia others are comparative in nature and deal with larger, macro issues about immigration detention in general. The authors' frequent usage of lived experience in conjunction with a broad scholarly knowledge base is what sets this volume apart from others. Detaining the Immigrant Other is a useful and practical resource for scholars in the social sciences and anybody interested in the global phenomenon of immigration detention. Book jacket.
