SIDELIGHTS
Tanya Golash-Boza is a sociologist whose research focuses primarily on race, ethnicity, and immigration. She studies radial and ethnic identities in the United States and Latin America and racial disparities and human rights implications of U.S. immigration policy. A contributor to professional journals and popular periodicals, Golash-Boza has written on a wide range of topics, from issues of race and identity in Peru to humans rights, immigration policy, and deportation. She is also the author of the blog Get a Life, PhD, which has more than two million page views.
Yo Soy Negro
In her book titled Yo Soy Negro: Blackness in Peru, Golash-Boza discusses what it means to be black in Peru. Drawing from extensive ethnographic work in Peru and more than 80 interviews with Peruvians of African descent, Golash-Boza examines how Peru differs significantly from other Latin American nations in terms of ideas about are, color, and miscegenation (mestizaje in Spanish), or the mixing of races. Golash-Boza focuses primarily on the people of Ingenio de Buenos Aires, a primary black village in northern Peru.
The book outlines the differences between Peru and its other Latin American neighbors. For example, in her interviews with the villagers of Ingenio de Buenos Aires, Golash-Boza discovered that, unlike other Latin American countries, the issues of blackness and slavery are not as important in the villagers historical memory. Rather, other identities were of higher priority, such as being tenant farmers, or campesinos.
Golash-Boza “makes a case for full participation in Peruvian life at all levels for those of African descent,” wrote W.J. Nelson in Choice. Calling Yo Soy Negro “clearly written and well documented,” a Reference & Research Book News contributor went on to note that Golash-Boza has made “a major contribution” concerning the understanding of race, not only in Peru but also in Latin America in general.
Immigration Nation
In Immigration Nation: Raids, Detentions, and Deportations in Post 9/11 America, Golash-Boza examines the impact of stricter U.S. immigration policies following the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Following the attacks, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was created to stop further attacks in the United States. What followed was a significant increase in enforcement of immigration laws. According to Goulash-Boza there was a six-fold increase in raids, detentions, and deportations since 9/11.
In examining the devastating impact that increased immigration policies have had on families, Golash-Boza provides a review of past policies as well as policies that have been instituted by DHS since 9/11. She writes that stricter scrutiny of immigrants have actually been a benefit to the private sector interests in stricter immigration policies. Meanwhile, Golash-Boza presents her case that these same policies are harder on people of color. Goulash-Boza ends the book with a call for more humane immigration policies and suggestions for change to immigration policies. The book includes case studies and footnotes.
“The central theme of this book is that the United States enforcement of punitive immigration policies violates human rights,” wrote Nathaniel A. Davis in a review for Societies Without Borders. Davis went on to note in the review: Immigration Nation “accomplishes the goal of introducing readers to the topic of U.S. immigration policy, while simultaneously making a case for amnesty and the individual mobility as a universal human right, hinting at the necessity of open borders.” Ethnic and Racial Studies contributor Brock Ternes commented: “Golash-Boza makes the granting of migrants’ humanity very explicit, and analyses migration in a ‘human’ light — an important strategy in a political climate that tends to view migration mainly as a criminal or economic issue.”
Deported
In Deported: Immigrant Policing, Disposable Labor, and Global Capitalism, Goulash-Boza uses the stories of 147 deportees to provide a critique of the what she sees as a disturbing pattern in the population of people being deported. For example, she points out that ninety-seven percent of deportees are sent to Latin America or the Caribbean. Golash-Boza makes her case that these deportation primarily serve the goals of global capitalism.
Exploring the racial and gender dimension of mass deportation in the United States, Golash-Boza examines neoliberal reforms, economic restructuring, and criminalization of black and Latino men as major factors in mass deportation. “Globalization, enhanced by neoliberal reforms, facilitates the movement of capital across borders while restricting the mobility of workers,” Golash-Boza writes in the introduction to Deported. Golash-Boza goes on to point out that Guatemala receives 45,000 deportees a year, thus ensuring that a transnational corporation in Guatemala had a good supply of bilingual workers for its call center and other areas. Golash-Boza goes on to write: “As this book will show, by elaborating on each aspect of the neoliberal cycle, mass deportation from the United States is critical to the sustainability of neoliberal economies. And, although mass deportation is carried out in the name of national security, these stories will reveal that it creates insecurity.”
Golash-Boza begins with a examination of why people leave their countries to migrate to the United States. She then turns her focus on how migrants have able to enter the United States both legally and illegally. Golash-Boza next explores various neoliberal reforms, claiming they have led to a bifurcation of the labor market, as well as cutbacks in social services and enhanced police presence that often lead migrants into trouble. After a discussion of the war on drugs in connection with deportation, Golash-Boza explains how deportees are caught in the deportation dragnet.
Golash-Boza also examines the intersections between incarceration and detention as a way to understand trends in deportation. The book’s final chapter focuses on what happens to the deportees once they are deported. In her conclusion, Golash-Boza sums up her case that U.S. mass deportations are a type of global apartheid. Luke de Noronha, writing for the Faculty of Law University of Oxford Web site, remarked: “Golash-Boza uses vignettes skilfully in the text, allowing for a kind of peopling of criminal and immigration policies.” The reviewer went on to note: “Deported is a powerful, compact, and very readable book that should interest students and scholars in many fields―political science, sociology, anthropology, criminology, law, migration studies, etc.”

Tanya Golash-Boza’s scholarship ranges from issues of race and identity in Peru to human rights to immigration policy and deportation. Her latest book Deported (New York University Press 2015) explains mass deportation in the context of the global economic crisis. Due Process Denied (Routledge 2012), describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment. Immigration Nation (Paradigm 2012), provides a critical analysis of the impact that U.S. immigration policy has on human rights. Yo Soy Negro: Blackness in Peru (University Press of Florida 2011) explores discourses of blackness and racial identity in Peru. Her textbook, Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach (Oxford University Press 2015) provides a critical overview of contemporary race scholarship.
Tanya Golash-Boza’s public outreach includes her blog, Get a Life, PhD, which has over two million pageviews and OpEds and other essays which have appeared in Al Jazeera, The Boston Review, The Nation, Counterpunch, The Houston Chronicle, Racialicious, Inside Higher Ed, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Dissident Voice. For this and other outreach work, Professor Golash-Boza was awarded the UC Merced Senate Faculty Award for Distinguished Scholarly Public Service in 2013.
Tanya Golash-Boza is an innovative teacher and teaches classes on race, immigration, globalization, and human rights.

She is also an elected Member-at-Large of the Council of the American Sociological Association and has served as the Chair of the Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities of that Association.
Professor Golash-Boza enjoys sharing her insights into faculty productivity and well-being and has given workshops at several university campuses. Her workshop, “Productivity, Creativity and Work-Life Balance: Get a Life, PhD” focuses on writing, productivity, creativity and work-life balance for faculty on the tenure-track. In this workshop, faculty learn how to establish a regular writing routine amidst the demands of teaching and service, plan their time efficiently, and find time for life outside of work.
Tanya Golash-Boza earned her B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Maryland, College Park, a Certificate of Anthropology from L’Ecole d’Anthropologie in Paris in 1996, and her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2005.

About Me
Many people find this hard to believe, but I decided to become a professor because I wanted to be happy.
I began graduate school filled with determination to change the world, and to attain personal satisfaction. When I became pregnant with twins my second year, changing the world and being happy began to seem unattainable.
If the faculty who did not have children were under pressure and overworked, how would I ever be able to be successful and happy? All around me I heard that academia eats at your soul, breaks you down, and does not let you have a life outside of work. I have since learned that you can be an academic and have a life too.
In this blog, I share advice that will help you balance life and work and attain a happier life on the tenure track.

GolashBoza (sociology and American studies, Univ. of Kansas) presents an analysis of immigration policy that
includes a review of past policies, the impact of 9/11, and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.
GolashBoza is of the opinion that the stricter scrutiny immigrants now face benefits the private sector and
disproportionately affects people of color, and concludes with a call for an immigration policy that incorporates a
human rights perspective. The author maintains that the intention of this work is to "shift the scholarly, political and
public discourse toward one that recognizes the fundamental dignity of all human beings." Given such a lofty goal, one
would reasonably expect some rigorous scientific analysis; however, readers are left with a work that is primarily an
expression of the author's opinions. The discovery of new, empirically verifiable facts would have added to the author's
effort to shift the discourse on immigration policy. The volume includes case studies and footnotes. Summing Up:

GolashBoza (sociology and American studies, U. of Kansas) analyzes the impact of US immigration policies on
human rights and their negative consequences for individuals, families, and communities. Focusing on how these laws
violate the civil and political rights of migrants and US citizens who have ties to them, she discusses the roots of
immigration to the US; the surge in policy enforcement since 9/11, especially raids and detentions and their effects;
who is being deported and the consequences for families; the strain of policy on couples when one person is a citizen;
public and private sector interests in the criminalization of undocumented migration, immigration law enforcement, and
the promotion of antiillegal rhetoric; and recommendations for immigration system reforms.

In the first book to examine what it means to be black in Peru in more than two decades, GolashBoza (Sociology and
American Studies, University of Kansas) approaches the subject through the experience of the people of Ingenio de
Buenos Aires, a small, mainly black village in the northern part of the country. Based on her interviews with more than
80 villagers of African descent, the author found that blackness and slavery are not important in the historical memory
of interviewees, a marked difference from what has been reported in other Latin American countries. While these
people did see themselves as black, other identities (such as being campesinos) were far more important. Clearly
written and well documented, this book is a major contribution to the ways in which race is understood in Peru and
elsewhere in Latin America.

This ethnographic depiction of Peruvians of African descent is quite ambitious in the sense that the aim is not just the
placement of a particular grouping into a larger societal and international whole. At various junctures, GolashBoza
(sociology, Univ. of Kansas) connects the Africandescended Peruvians of the town of Ingenio to issues such as
psychosocial adjustments to racism, historical processes (including group formation specifically and the African
diaspora generally), macrolevel Peruvian structural racism, and microsocial behavior at the local level. The author
compares and contrasts Peru with other Latin American countries and their treatments of African ancestry as well. This
multitiered analysis of a group that lies adjacent to (but not within) the indigenousSpanish dynamic at the heart of the
bulk of Latin American academic discourse on race and ethnicity leads the author to explore fundamental Latin
American dilemmas of citizenship and nationality, at the levels of both the elite and the common person. Although
GolashBoza is flexible about how consideration of African ancestry can be accomplished (notably in Peru), she makes
a case for full participation in Peruvian life at all levels for those of African descent. Summing Up: Recommended. **

Immigration Nation: Raids, Detentions, Deportations in Post-9/11 America By
Tanya Maria Golash-Boza
Nathaniel A. Davis
Southern Illinois University
Paradigm Publishers, 2012, 224 Pp _____________________________________________________
The central theme of this book is that the United States enforcement of punitive immigration policies violates human rights. While paying lip service to the concept of universal human rights, Tanya Maria Golash-Boza argues that United States immigration policy and enforcement procedures contradict the nation’s self- expressed national ideals, ignore international treaty obligations, harm communities, and infringe upon the social, economic, and cultural rights of citizens and non-citizens (2-5, 111). It has done so by ignoring or devaluing the right to family unity. Not only is family unity the cornerstone of social life, Golash-Boza contends, it is an inalienable human right (5). The author seeks to introduce readers to immigration policy, enforcement agencies practices, and their consequences, in the post-9/11 United States. While doing so, she argues passionately for amnesty, overhaul of entry policy, and the inclusion of individual mobility in international human rights doctrine (171).
Immigration Nation accomplishes the task of familiarizing readers with US immigration policy and enforcement, and the accessible language and structure of the book suit it for classroom use. The compelling anecdotes accentuate the suffering of illegal migrants whose only crime is that of living and working in the United States without authorization. They are not dangerous terrorists, yet post- 9/11 immigration policy enforcement makes them the primary (albeit perhaps unintended) targets. Golash-Boza asserts that these migrants and their loved ones possess an inalienable human right to family

unity by virtue of their humanity (5). The topically arranged chapters underscore how this freedom—as well as many civil rights—has often been denied in the name of national security.
Chapter 1 provides a brief background of the reasons behind immigration to the United States alongside a brief legal history of immigration law from the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to the controversial Arizona law now making its way through the judicial review process (33-43). Chapters 2, 3, and 4 review the post-9/11 immigration policy enforcement mechanisms, procedures, and their human costs, maintaining focus on the offenses against human as well as civil rights. The author stresses “the right to territorial belonging” of the U.S. citizen family members of illegal residents, maintaining that this right is devalued when citizen children leave the country with deported parents, or when citizen spouses must choose whether to accompany their deported partners or remain in the United States (6, 111, 113-135).
Golash-Boza’s work heightens awareness of the plight of undocumented workers in the United States. She identifies numerous civil rights violations in worksite and home raids as well as the detention system (47-77). Michigan’s requirement of social security numbers for the issuance of marriage licenses denies illegal migrants living there the right to marry (126). The book highlights how the enforcement apparatus intended to protect the United States from terrorism has increasingly targeted peaceful, law-abiding (aside from violations of immigration law) aspiring citizens. The heart-wrenching personal stories in these chapters (particularly chapter 4) comprise the most powerful and compelling portion of the book. The accounts citizen and non-citizen couples and families highlight the fear and suffering inflicted by the present system.
Golash-Boza argues in the last chapter that the existence of an “immigration industrial complex” is the driving force behind the United States’ harsh immigration policies (142-158). She highlights the profit potential of immigration law enforcement, stresses media coverage of local violent crime in the quest to attract viewers, and emphasizes the political use of ‘othering’ to justify increased defense spending (ibid). However, she does not offer specific examples of how either the prison/immigration complex or the chief migrant-labor industries (such as meatpacking and garment factories)

have influenced the policies from which they profit, focusing instead on the superheated rhetoric of right-wing television shows The O’Reilly Factor, Lou Dobbs Tonight, and Glenn Beck—contributing to an anti- immigrant political climate—and the lack of immigration reform legislation (142-149). Yet as she observes in chapter 2, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 dramatically amplified the funding and capacity for enforcement of existing immigration laws (40-41). The “immigration industrial complex,” as the author describes it, might suggest a more unfortunate accident than intelligent design.
In addition, the author’s fierce criticism of United States immigration and citizenship policies ought to be tempered by comparison with those of other countries, especially given her explicit claim that “unlike most other nations, [the United States] does not give much weight to the social, economic, and cultural rights that are also important to the human rights tradition” (2). A cursory review of the citizenship and immigration policies as well as enforcement mechanisms of other nations (Germany and Mexico, perhaps) might suggest that the United States is not the only offender against the human or civil rights of migrants (legal or otherwise), and may not be the most heinous perpetrator.
For analytical clarity, more precise differentiation between political, citizenship, and human rights would be helpful, especially since all three overlap within the book’s narrative. Combined with more history of how these rights have been interpreted in U.S. and international courts, a tighter analytical framework would strengthen the argument and make the book more instructive to readers and more useful to scholars. The lack of precision occasionally leads to confusion. For example, Golash-Boza asserts, “the rights awarded by U.S. citizenship are few: the right to live in this country and the right to vote” (111). This contention is difficult to reconcile with either her presumed human rights perspective or that of political rights. It is all the more puzzling given her repeated observance of the ICE’s violation of Fourth Amendment rights (protection against unreasonable search and seizure) during home raids, as well (49).
Despite these shortcomings, Immigration Nation marks a significant attempt to examine the unintended social costs of the War on Terror. It accomplishes the goal of introducing readers to the

topic of U.S. immigration policy, while simultaneously making a case for amnesty and the individual mobility as a universal human right, hinting at the necessity of open borders (171). Noting the failures of United States immigration policy, Golash-Boza draws attention to the fact that not only is the system still broken, but from a human rights standpoint, it continues to get worse.

Post by Luke de Noronha, a DPhil student in Anthropology at the University of Oxford. His doctoral research examines the deportation of ex-offenders from the UK to Jamaica, exploring the lives of deportees in Jamaica as well as their friends and families who remain in the UK. Luke is on Twitter @LukeEdeNoronha.
Review of Deported: Immigrant Policing, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism by Tanya Golash-Boza (NYU Press, 2015)
In Deported: Immigrant Policing, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism, Tanya Golash-Boza questions why ‘mass deportation’ has emerged in the United States in recent years:
By the spring of 2014, there had been two million removals under the Obama administration―more in just over five years than any previous administration and more than the sum total of all documented removals prior to 1997. (p. viii)
She argues that the ‘mass deportation of men of color is part of the neoliberal cycle of global capitalism.’ But what exactly does she mean by this? Neoliberalism is one of those buzz words we hear all the time, but I’m not always confident I could define it very well. Fortunately, this book helped me work through the concept and reminded me of the strength of arguments that situate immigration controls firmly within analysis of political economy.
To understand why the US is deporting so many people each year―with a particular spike in deportations of those already resident in the US (i.e., interior removals rather than the removal of border-crossers)―we have to situate these policies in relation to structural changes in labour markets in the US, as well as in countries of origin. Mass deportation is one means of controlling surplus labour: of disposing of those migrants who are no longer useful. These might be undocumented labourers. They might also be legal permanent residents who moved as children―the so-called 1.5 generation―and who are deported following a criminal conviction.
Max Frisch famously said of the guest-worker system in Germany: ‘We asked for workers. We got people instead.’ Mass deportation provides a solution to this problem, by denying the humanity of noncitizens and rendering them nothing more than disposable workers. Mass deportation also keeps immigrant labour compliant, reminding other noncitizens that they must accept their lot―pitiful wages and a lack of labour rights―if they want to elude the immense coercive power of the state. The spike in deportations following the global economic crisis occurred precisely because there has been an increase in surplus labour and because, in the context of growing insecurity, immigrants are being scapegoated.
Thinking about cycles of global capitalism helps us map the trajectories of those who end up deported (and vice versa). Firstly, neoliberalism helps explain migration trajectories and patterns of ‘incorporation’―(i.e., what people do). Secondly, neoliberalism explains the US government’s means of controlling marginalised noncitizens, in terms of the phenomenal resource-allocation to policing, detention, and deportation (i.e., what the state does).
What follows may be a rather flattened account of these processes, but it traces Golash-Boza’s core argument. Migrants often move because of the transformation of labour markets in their home countries. When in the US, these families often remain poor because of neoliberal reforms in the US, which have seen joblessness, rising inequality, and the retrenchment of social welfare, most markedly in deindustrialised urban areas. Many noncitizens remain undocumented because of US policies which seek to control their labour and render them compliant through immigration control, as argued by De Genova . Other noncitizens might have regular status, but engage in criminal activities as an alternative labour market strategy where formal employment proves elusive. However, it is important to note that many deportees are only guilty of minor offences. Golash-Boza interrogates the category of ‘the criminal,’ showing that avoiding the police can be difficult in the context of heavy (racist) policing and the war on drugs. In essence, the trajectories of noncitizens are fundamentally related to the shape of the US labour market―both in its desire for docile undocumented labour and in the lack of formal employment options for poor men of colour in deindustrialised urban space.
We see that many noncitizens are marginalised―in multiple ways―because of neoliberal shifts in global capitalism. But then what does their actual, physical expulsion have to do with neoliberalism? The extraordinary forms of policing in the US are made palatable, despite their expense, because they target men of colour. This massive coercive power is selectively enforced.
When we think about ‘criminal deportees,’ their exile is an extension of the warehousing and ‘invisibilisation’ that mass incarceration represents. Mass incarceration is about surplus labour, but it involves destroying millions of Black and Latino lives, as a means of allaying the fears of White Americans perceiving increased insecurity. In this way, mass deportation responds to the same fears as mass incarceration. It is similarly racialised and gendered, and similarly driven by neoliberal insecurities.
I was particularly impressed by Golash-Boza’s marriage of analysis of mass incarceration, racist policing, and the war on drugs along with an interrogation of immigration controls. That is, she connects the walls and cages so defining of the American nightmare, and in so doing suggests that alternatives to mass deportation require a full reckoning with growing inequality, mass incarceration, and racism. This approach combats the tendency to view immigrants and the native poor as competitors for limited resources, instead viewing them both as victims of neoliberalism and, in many cases, racism.
In forcefully analysing mass deportation, racism, and neoliberalism―in re-centring the state, which I think the analysis of deportation demands―Deported is a truly radical piece of social research.
Golash-Boza uses vignettes skilfully in the text, allowing for a kind of peopling of criminal and immigration policies. Throughout the book, she explores the many facets of deportation in relation to political economy, law, and the academic literature, but ultimately illustrates her arguments through the narratives of her respondents. For me, this is what lends the book its clarity and clout; it’s an example of the sociological imagination par excellence: the connecting of private troubles to public issues. The book is tight, compact with analysis of law and state practices, and yet it remains peopled―the characters come through and humanise the broader analytical project.
In choosing to speak with deportees in four countries (Jamaica, Guatemala, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic), we get a sense for the diversity of deportation stories.
The book is structured chronologically, moving from decisions to emigrate to border crossing, becoming American, criminal conviction (in some cases), getting caught by police and border guards, spending time behind bars (in detention centres and prisons), and then being back in the country of citizenship. The last chapter, ‘Back Home,’ in particular, is full of fascinating empirical material. This chapter really captures the profound consequences of deportation for those exiled. Deportees often return to poverty and isolation, facing gendered stigma and the immediate threat of violence. As I have argued elsewhere, deportation can be a death sentence for all sorts of reasons (see also here). Although each deportation is lived differently due to varying personal resources, connections, and the wider context in home countries, all deportees face emotional hardship and must find ways to survive in their new surroundings.
I was especially struck by Golash-Boza’s description of the deportees employed in international call centres in Guatemala and the Dominican Republic, as it captures the book’s core argument with striking irony, poetry, and tragedy:
Guatemalans are deported from the United States back to their country of origin. One of the strategies used to deport people is to raid places of employment, and one of the rallying cries for increasing deportations is that “they take our jobs!” However, deportees in Guatemala often find work at U.S.-based companies such as Citibank or Sears, answering phone calls from U.S. customers. Of course, they are paid a fraction of what they would be paid to do the same work in the United States. (p. 247)
The employment of deportees in call centres―valued because of their ‘Americanness’―is one of those perfect ironies that tells us so much, revealing some of the contradictions in ‘mass deportation’ for those who live it, and yet highlighting the fact that it works, somehow, as one means of controlling and disciplining mobile labour and racialised bodies.
Deported is a powerful, compact, and very readable book that should interest students and scholars in many fields―political science, sociology, anthropology, criminology, law, migration studies, etc. This text is by no means above the reach of undergraduate students; the question is whether deportation is on the syllabus. Perhaps Golash-Boza’s most important contribution to the literature is in making such a cogent case that it should be.
