All contributors have expanded their analysis to include transnational and global histories, while recognizing that immigration policy is firmly developed within the structure of the nation-state. Thus, the authors do not abandon national peculiarity regarding immigration policy, but as Emily Pope-Obeda observes, \"from its very inception, immigration restriction was developed with one eye looking outward.\" Contributors note that deportation policy can signal friendship or cracks within the relationships between nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rather than solely focusing on immigration policy in the abstract, the authors remain cognizant of the very real effects domestic immigration policies have on deportees and push readers to think about how the mobility and lives of individuals come to be controlled by the state, as well as the ways in which immigrants and their allies have resisted and challenged deportation. From the development of the concept of an \"anchor baby\" to continued policing of those who are foreign-born, \u003ci\u003eDeportation in the Americas\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for understanding this critical and timely topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKENYON ZIMMER is associate professor of history at the University of Texas at Arlington and the author of \u003ci\u003eImmigrants against the State: Yiddish and Italian Anarchism in America\u003c\/i\u003e and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eWobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW\u003c\/i\u003e.
