Manufacturing Illegality: Borders, Nationalism, and Our Current Authoritarian Moment by Harsha Walia

What’s really behind today’s immigration crackdowns?

Harsha Walia situates the current horrors of immigration violence, including ICE raids and mass deportations in the U.S., within a long arc of bipartisan immigration enforcement and exclusion. Drawing on an internationalist and abolitionist politics, Walia emphasizes the urgent necessity of abolishing border imperialism through transnational solidarities.

Harsha Walia is the author of “Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism” and Organizer of No One is Illegal
