2.0 out of 5 stars
Short, skimpy, and one sided,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Border Wars (Boston Review Books) (Hardcover)
I selected this book thinking it would be a review of US Border policy. Instead, it's a very short account (~160 pages, paperback-sized book with big margins) of two accounts of recent US policy on the border: namely private prisons and federal funding of local police departments, along with the recent popular-ism state laws in Arizona. The author had no additional insights to add to these topics - just that he opposes these efforts. There were a few antidotes about particular cases that the author signaled out. In general the book taught me little that I didn't already know.If you want to see the border apparatus in action, I recommend the National Geographic TV series of the same name. I was expected better from the MIT Press - I've usually had very good experiences with them. |
