About this product
Product Information
In 2018, many Americans watched in horror as children were torn from their parents at the US-Mexico border under Trump's 'family separation' policy. But as historian Ana Raquel Minian reveals in In the Shadow of Liberty, this was only the latest chapter in a saga tracing back to the 1800s - one in which immigrants to the United States have been held without recourse to their constitutional rights. Braiding together the vivid stories of four migrants seeking to escape the turmoil of their homelands for the promise of America, In the Shadow of Liberty gives this history a human face, telling the dramatic story of a Central American asylum seeker, a Cuban exile, a European war bride, and a Chinese refugee. As we travel alongside these indelible characters, In the Shadow of Liberty explores how sites of rightlessness have evolved, and what their existence has meant for our body politic. Though these 'black sites' exist out of view for the average American, their reach extends into all of

Reviews
"A scorching indictment of America's immigrant detention system, In the Shadow of Liberty is as moving as it is urgent. Through deep archival research, unflinching historical analysis, and fearless reporting, Ana Raquel Minian explains how a country that prides itself as a nation of immigrants became, at the same time, a nation of prisons." --Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States "It's impossible to understand the history of immigration in the US without focusing on how the government treats those who are most vulnerable when they first arrive. Ana Raquel Minian is unflinching, exacting, and meticulous in bringing that story into view. The scope of this book is impressively vast, from the years of Chinese exclusion to the Holocaust, the Mariel boatlift, and Trump's family separation policy. Minian makes a forceful and eloquent case: this is a past we have to reckon with, because it will continue to shape our present and future as a country." --Jonathan Blitzer, author of Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here "A valuable contribution to our understanding of the US immigration system, In the Shadow of Liberty explores the sordid history of imprisonment and abuse of migrants seeking new lives in the United States. Based on an extraordinary study, this remarkable book shines much-needed light on a system of cruelty enacted away from the public eye yet nevertheless consequential to our broader narrative as a nation. Elegantly written, rigorously researched, and cogently argued, this is one of the most important books on immigration in the last decade." --Roberto G. Gonzales, author of Lives in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America "In the Shadow of Liberty both infuriates and inspires, as the best books do--a masterful march through the evolution of a uniquely American conceit: deterrence by detention, at any cost. Meticulously researched and powerfully told, the resilience of the protagonists shines through this dark history. If only it were required reading for those charged with policymaking today." --Molly O'Toole, Pulitzer Prize−winning reporter "Through the stories of four individuals at distinct points in history, Ana Raquel Minian shines a light into the dark corners of the American project where decency, justice, and democracy itself disappear. Minian demands readers assess the quality of our democratic ideals against the brutal reality of so-called immigrant detention, a condition of purposely created legal limbo that strips people of constitutionally enshrined protections and facilitates their torture, indefinite incarceration, despair, separation from family, banishment, irreparable psychological harm, and in many cases, death. Minian thrusts the history of 'immigrant detention' into the reader's chest close enough for them to feel the breath of those whose freedom we've denied. This book should be required reading for every person who believes America stands on liberty and justice for all." --José Orduña, author of The Weight of Shadows: A Memoir of Immigration and Displacement, "A scorching indictment of America's immigrant detention system, In the Shadow of Liberty is as moving as it is urgent. Through deep archival research, unflinching historical analysis, and fearless reporting, Ana Raquel Minian explains how a country that prides itself as a nation of immigrants became, at the same time, a nation of prisons." --Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States "A valuable contribution to our understanding of the U.S. immigration system, In the Shadow of Liberty explores the sordid history of imprisonment and abuse of migrants seeking new lives in the United States. Based on an extraordinary study, this remarkable book shines much-needed light on a system of cruelty enacted away from the public eye yet nevertheless consequential to our broader narrative as a nation. Elegantly written, rigorously researched, and cogently argued, this is one of the most important books on immigration in the last decade." --Roberto G. Gonzales, author of Lives in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America
