Description: "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. Scholars in a range of disciplines as well as activists and practitioners working in immigration and refugee determination will find this interdisciplinary study indispensable."--Jacket.
