Kahn offers a new interpretation of the transformation of US borders during the late twentieth century and its implications for our understanding of the nation-state as a legal and political form. Kahn takes us on a voyage into the immigration tribunals of South Florida, the Coast Guard vessels patrolling the northern Caribbean, and the camps of Guant namo Bay - once the world's largest US-operated migrant detention facility--to explore how litigation concerning the fate of Haitian asylum seekers gave birth to a novel paradigm of offshore oceanic migration policing. Combining ethnography - in Haiti, at Guant namo, and alongside US migration patrols in the Caribbean--with in-depth archival research, Kahn expounds a nuanced theory of liberal empire's dynamic tensions and its racialized geographies of securitization. An innovative historical anthropology of the modern legal imagination, Islands of Sovereignty forces us to reconsider the significance of the rise of the current US immigration border and its relation to broader shifts in the legal infrastructure of contemporary nation-states across the globe. 651 0 $a United States $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 651 0 $a United States $x Emigration and immigration. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration law $z United States. 650 0 $a Coastal surveillance $z United States. 650 0 $a Refugees $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Haiti. 651 0 $a Haiti $x Emigration and immigration. 650 0 $a Border security $z United States. 650 7 $a Border security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742239 650 7 $a Coastal surveillance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00865754 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908690 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908736 650 7 $a Refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092797 650 7 $a Refugees $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092822 651 7 $a Haiti. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205135 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226587554 830 0 $a Chicago series in law and society. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010634.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3DB0EBA0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
