This approach enables a unified analysis of Indigenous displacement, African enslavement, Asian exclusion, the criminalization of undocumented migration, and the expansion of deportation regimes as tools of state power. By highlighting immigration’s central role in shaping American demography, labor markets, and governance, the volume exposes the enduring paradox of a nation that oscillates between exclusion and inclusion while remaining a powerful global magnet for migrants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-12-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032199386\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46190030028940,"sku":"9783032199386","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032199386.jpg?v=1778009770","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032199386","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
