This essay reviews six recent texts published regarding migrant deportation and detention: research based monographs by Mary Bosworth, Nick Gill, Tanya Maria Golash-Boza, Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia, and Tom K. Wong, and an interdisciplinary collection edited by Daniel Kanstroom and M. Brinton Lykes. Each book, individually, makes an important contribution to scholarship on immigration enforcement policies and practices. Read together, the books provide an outstanding overview of the causes and consequences of these policies and practices across national contexts and disciplinary boundaries, as well as challenges to altering them.
