内容简介

Securing Borders traces the connections between seemingly disparate concerns -- detention, deportation, liberalism, law, discretion, welfare, criminal justice, refugees, security, and risk -- to consider them in relation to the changing modes of Canadian governance. Pratt takes a close look at the discursive formations, transformations, and technologies of power that have surrounded the laws, policies, and practices of detention and deportation in Canada since the Second World War.
