Terrorizing Latina/o immigrants: race, gender, and immigration policy post-9/11

Immigration politics have been significantly altered by the advent of the US war on terror and the proliferation of security measures.

This cogent study examines how these processes are racialised and gendered and how they impose inequitable burdens on Latina/o immigrants.

It interrogates the rise of securitisation, restrictive legislation and the return of large-scale immigration raids, and describes how these re-articulate and re-inscribe forms of racial and gender hierarchy.
