"The moral panic engendered by immigration, globally, is critically and compellingly analyzed and demonstrated to be the product of colonial legacies of white supremacy, racialized hierarchies, and class exploitation (i.e., coloniality), all along the axis of gender. This makes the volume a needed, necessary, and imperative intervention in 'migration studies.'" - Percy C. Hintzen, professor emeritus, University of California, Berkeley"In this groundbreaking volume, Lewis, Kolenz, and Miller take scholarship beyond the accepted binaries and border-centered research structured by U.S. hegemony, offering a collection of insightful analyses of the interplay between mobility, race, class, gender, ethnicity, and the environment across the Americas. This 'de-centering' and 'unbordering' of migration studies is an urgently needed intellectual intervention." - Noelle Kateri Brigden, author of The Migrant Passage: Clandestine Journeys from Central America
