- Description
- Lesbians, prostitutes, women likely to have sex across racial lines, 'brought to the United States for immoral purposes', or 'arriving in a state of pregnancy' - national threats, one and all. Since the late nineteenth century, immigrant women's sexuality has been viewed as a threat to national security, to be contained through strict border-monitoring practices. By scrutinizing this policy, its origins, and its application, Luibheid shows how the U.S. border became a site not just for controlling female sexuality but also for contesting, constructing, and renegotiating sexual identity. This books links sexuality-based immigration exclusion to a dominant nationalism, premised on sexual, racial, and class hierarchies.
