Winner 2016 Distinguished Contribution to Research Book Award given by the American Sociological Association Latinoa Section The United States currently is deporting more people than ever before 4 million people have been deported since 1997 twice as many as all people deported prior to 1996. There is a disturbing pattern in the population deported 97 of deportees are sent to Latin America or the Caribbean and 88 are men many of whom were originally detained through the U.S. criminal justice system. Weaving together hardhitting critique and moving firstperson testimonials Deported tells the intimate stories of people caught in an immigration law enforcement dragnet that serves the aims of global capitalism.Tanya GolashBoza uses the stories of 147 of these deportees to explore the racialized and gendered dimensions of mass deportation in the United States showing how this crisis is embedded in economic restructuring neoliberal reforms and the disproportionate criminalization of black and Latino men. In the United States outsourcing creates service sector jobs and more of a need for the unskilled jobs that attract immigrants looking for new opportunities but it also leads to deindustrialization decline in urban communities and consequently heavy policing. Many immigrants are exposed to the same racial profiling and policing as nativeborn blacks and Latinos. Unlike the nativeborn though when immigrants enter the criminal justice system deportation is often their only way out. Ultimately GolashBoza argues that deportation has become a state strategy of social control both in the United States and in the many countries that receive deportees.
