Protect, Serve, and Deport

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This stellar volume cements Armenta's status as an expert ethnographer working at the intersection of the sociology of critical criminology, law and society, and immigration. Academics and non-academics, graduate and under-graduate students alike will find in this text a readable and eminently troubling portrait of immigrant life in the deportation nation, a story deftly told through the clear-eyed and empathetic vision of one of the field's rising stars." * Theoretical Criminology * "Should be required reading for anyone interested in understanding what happens when local police facilitate mass deportation." * Law & Society Review * "Amada Armenta's Protect, Serve, and Deport makes a notable contribution to this burgeoning scholarship by tracing the adoption, rollout, and consequences of the 287(g) program in Davidson County, Tennessee . . . [it] is particularly timely and highly relevant to scholars researching immigrant criminalization, policing, or color-blind racism." * American Journal of Sociology * "Armenta provides us with a rich ethnography of immigration policing in Nashville that is so insightful that it will also be of interest to scholars working on immigration enforcement, bordering practices, racial profiling, discretion, and policing in many other settings. It is truly a stellar book that should become mandatory reading on any syllabus or comprehensive exam list in border criminology and critical police studies in the United States and beyond." * Border Criminologies *
