Reviews
Yoosun Park, Smith College School for Social Work:
Structural violence, write the editors of this volume, is endemic within various systems that interact with immigrants. This richly textured collection examines the policies and practices that effect and uphold that problematization and marginalization as a condition of being for the 'alien.' Compelling narratives situated at multiple points of contact across the globe give voice to the often unheard: those subjected to that violence and those who endeavor to challenge that violence as a given.

Robin Jacobson, author of The New Nativism: Proposition 187 and the Debate Over Immigration:
The Immigrant Other paints a moving picture of the lived experience of immigrants in the contemporary age. Through memorable narratives of individual struggle and collective resistance, the book provides valuable insight into the pain and struggles but also the heroism of immigrants in the face of nation states that criminalize their lives.
