Borderland Circuitry investigates how the deployment of this information infrastructure has shaped immigration enforcement practices, highlighting the interconnection of digital surveillance, immigration control, and gang enforcement. It uncovers how information-sharing partnerships between local police, state and federal law enforcement, and foreign partners create multiple digital borderlands, justifying intensive surveillance, detention, brutality, deportation, and border militarization. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 June 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImmigration policy in the United States has primarily revolved around the visible aspects of border walls and detention centers, while the less visible information systems that support immigration enforcement have received less attention. Borderland Circuitry delves into the evolution of surveillance-related systems since the 1980s, examining how the deployment of this information infrastructure has shaped immigration enforcement practices. Ana Muñiz sheds light on three interconnected phenomena: digital surveillance, immigration control, and gang enforcement. Through ethnography, interviews, and analysis of previously unseen documents, Muñiz uncovers how information-sharing partnerships between local police, state and federal law enforcement, and foreign partners create multiple digital borderlands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorderland Circuitry delves deep into a select group of information systems, revealing how those with legal and political power deploy the specter of violent cross-border criminals to justify intensive surveillance, detention, brutality, deportation, and the destruction of land for border militarization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 276g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 x 210 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780520379497\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ana Muniz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094756290810,"sku":"9780520379497","price":20.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1663336015707_book.jpg?v=1663443708","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/borderland-circuitry-immigration-surveillance-in-the-united-states-and-beyond-9780520379497","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
