Nancy A. Naples and Jennifer Bickham Mendez have arranged a significant, comprehensive, and timely collection of essays. -- Pablo Vila,author of Border Identifications and Ethnography at the Border\u003cbr\u003eThe edited collection offers an important contribution to the sociology of bordering. Rather than focusing on struggles over the militarization of geographical borderlands as outlined by scholars like Reece Jones, the contribution of the book lies in its original approach to the analysis of social movements for which borders and boundaries are sites of struggle. More precisely, the chapters depict how these social movements maintain, contest, produce, and dissolve borders and boundaries. * Border Criminologies *\u003cbr\u003eThis edited volume highlights many contemporary geopolitical issues in the social sciences.
