Book Talk: "Detain and Deport" by Nancy Hiemstra

Join us for a fruitful discussion of a newly published book "Detain and Deport: The Chaotic U.S. Immigration Enforcement Regime" by Nancy Hiemstra.

Introduction by Daniel Naujoks, Director a.i. for International Organization and UN Studies, SIPA.

Professor Hiemstra is an Associate Professor in the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stony Brook University. She is a political and cultural geographer whose research focuses on immigration enforcement policies, homeland security and changing ideas of borders, and Latin America.

Her new book, "Detain and Deport: The Chaotic U.S. Immigration Enforcement Regime," critically examines the organization and operation of the massive U.S. detention and deportation system through transnational ethnographic research in Ecuador. It also explores reverberations of U.S. migrant detention and deportation practices in countries of migrant origin, and assesses security and deterrence logics behind punitive policies.
