Operation Gatekeeper and Beyond

The War On "Illegals" and the Remaking of the U.S. – Mexico Boundary

By: Joseph Nevins

This is a major revision and update of Nevins’ earlier classic and is an ideal text for use with undergraduate students in a wide variety of courses on immigration, transnational issues, and the politics of race, inclusion and exclusion. Not only has the author brought his subject completely up to date, but as a "case" of increasing economic integration and liberalization along with growing immigration control, the US / Mexico Border and its history is put in a wider global context of similar development s elsewhere. A companion website is available at www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415996945. The Companion Website contains key U.S. government documents related to the boundary and immigration enforcement strategy; reports from non-partisan research entities and non-governmental organizations that evaluate enforcement from a civil and human rights perspective; and studies that investigate migrant deaths in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. There are also photo essays, including one related to deportations and another to California’s Border Field State Park, for which the site also includes historic photos and other resources. Finally, the site has links to websites—from U.S. government agencies involved in boundary and immigrant policing, to humanitarian and border, migrant, and human rights organizations.

Mad Science

The Nuclear Power Experiment

By: Joseph J. Mangano

Will Americans once again play nuclear roulette? Just one year after the Fukushima meltdown, all 54 reactors in Japan have been closed, and may never be restarted. Germany recently closed several reactors, and will shutter them all within a decade. Italy revoked its pledge to build new reactors, keeping that nation nuclear-free. All these decisions are based on the understanding that reactors are extremely dangerous and expensive. In the U.S., the remnants of the once-overwhelmingly powerful nuclear lobby are making their last stand for "clean" nuclear energy. The sixty-year-old vision of power "too cheap to meter" (words originally uttered by a banker promoting the industry) is back. While other countries end their reliance on nuclear energy, Americans contemplate its revival, even as existing reactors, which produce a fifth of U.S. electricity, pass retirement age and are corroding. In Mad Science, Joseph Mangano strips away the near-smothering layers of distortions and outright lies that permeate the massive propaganda campaigns on behalf of nuclear energy. He explores the history of the industry, with its origins in the Manhattan Project, through its heightening promotion during the Cold War and its entwinement with nuclear weapons. Mad Science includes an account of nuclear accidents and meltdowns and their consequences, from Chernobyl to Santa Susana and beyond; as well as a point-by-point refutation of pro-nuke arguments. Atomic energy is unsafe - it deals with staggeringly poisonous substances at every stage of its creation - un-economical in the extreme and impractical"--Publisher's description.

Right to the Road

How Marginalized American Motorists Fought to Drive and Park

By: Joseph A. Rodriguez

Car ownership is central to the U.S. culture wars about global warming and urban sprawl. While the environmental issues surrounding car use are well known, the car is also the focus of debates about urban redevelopment, racially biased policing, women’s employment, immigration, homelessness, and disability rights. Right to the Road: How Marginalized American Motorists Fought to Drive and Park by Joseph A. Rodriguez discusses the central role of automobiles to determine how enforced automobile regulations have affected marginalized Americans both in the past and present day. Each chapter focuses on issues such as: Milwaukee’s parking policies after World War II and urban redevelopment; Chicago’s traffic and parking policies and the post-war rise in crime; white and Black women’s increased employment post-war and the harassment they endured by police officers and motorists; the policing of Latino drivers and how anti-immigrant activists sensationalized automobile accidents to demonize Latinos as criminals; the disabled communities push for driving rights; the debates in cities and suburbs over the right to park overnight in safe parking spaces; and the use of the automobile and parking lots during the COVID-19 pandemic. This book highlights the various roles of the car in society throughout history.
