Before September 11, 2001, few Americans had heard of immigration detention, but in fact a secret and repressive prison system run by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has existed in this country for more than two decades. In American Gulag, prisoners, jailers, and whistle-blowing federal officials come forward to describe the frightening reality inside these INS facilities. Journalist Mark Dow's on-the-ground reporting brings to light documented cases of illegal beatings and psychological torment, prolonged detention, racism, and inhumane conditions. Intelligent, impassioned, and unlike anything that has been written on the topic, this gripping work of investigative journalism should be read by all Americans. It is a book that will change the way we see our country. American Gulag takes us inside prisons such as the Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami, the Corrections Corporation of America's Houston Processing Center, and county jails around the country that profit from contracts to hold INS prisoners. It contains disturbing in-depth profiles of detainees, including Emmy Kutesa, a defector from the Ugandan army who was tortured and then escaped to the United States, where he was imprisoned in Queens, and then undertook a hunger strike in protest. To provide a framework for understanding stories like these, Dow gives a brief history of immigration laws and practices in the United States-including the repercussions of September 11 and present-day policies. His book reveals that current immigration detentions are best understood not as a well-intentioned response to terrorism but rather as part of the larger context of INS secrecy and excessive authority. American Gulag exposes the full story of a cruel prison system that is operating today with an astonishing lack of accountability.

Wat speelt er zich af achter de muren van de detentiecentra waar mensen zonder verblijfsrecht worden opgesloten? Hierover is in het algemeen weinig bekend. Detentiecentra zijn immers relatief ondoordringbare plaatsen voor de buitenwereld.In dit boek krijgen personen die opgesloten zijn en personen die werkzaam zijn in één Nederlands en drie Belgische vreemdelingendetentiecentra een stem. Hun ervaringen en de werking van de verschillende centra worden vanuit een criminologisch-penologische invalshoek bestudeerd op basis van langdurige observaties, talrijke informele gesprekken en interviews. De vergelijking van detentiecentra over landsgrenzen heen maakt duidelijk dat uitvoeringspraktijken en ervaringen verschillen. De auteur draagt hiervoor verschillende verklaringen aan en verfijnt zo de theorievorming over vreemdelingendetentie die zich het afgelopen decennium ontwikkeld heeft.Vreemdelingendetentie in de Lage Landen is een aanrader voor sociale wetenschappers die praktijken van migratiecontrole en detentie bestuderen. Ook personen werkzaam binnen de vreemdelingenketen of binnen een detentiecontext zullen hun gading in het boek vinden: de studie biedt de nodige aangrijpingspunten om over de eigen praktijken te reflecteren en deze eventueel ten goede te veranderen.https://www.boom.nl/product/100-12740_Vreemdelingendetentie-in-de-Lage-Landen

Italy's current crisis of Mediterranean migration and detention has its roots in early twentieth century imperial ambitions. Empire's Mobius Strip investigates how mobile populations were perceived to be major threats to Italian colonization, and how the state's historical mechanisms of control have resurfaced, with greater force, in today's refugee crisis.What is at stake in Empire's Mobius Strip is a deeper understanding of the forces driving those who move by choice and those who are moved. Stephanie Malia Hom focuses on Libya, considered Italy's most valuable colony, both politically and economically. Often perceived as the least of the great powers, Italian imperialism has been framed as something of "colonialism lite." But Italian colonizers carried out genocide between 1929-33, targeting nomadic Bedouin and marching almost 100,000 of them across the desert, incarcerating them in camps where more than half who entered died, simply because the Italians considered their way of life suspect. There are uncanny echoes with the situation of the Roma and migrants today. Hom explores three sites, in novella-like essays, where Italy's colonial past touches down in the present: the island, the camp, and the village.Empire's Mobius Strip brings into relief Italy's shifting constellations of mobility and empire, giving them space to surface, submerge, stretch out across time, and fold back on themselves like a Mobius strip. It deftly shows that mobility forges lasting connections between colonial imperialism and neoliberal empire, establishing Italy as a key site for the study of imperial formations in Europe and the Mediterranean.
