Join William & Mary’s Global Research Institute for the launch of The Migrant's Jail: An American History of Mass Incarceration (Princeton University Press, 2024), written by W&M Assistant Professor Brianna Nofil. Dr. Nofil examines how a century of political, ideological, and economic exchange between the U.S. immigration bureaucracy and the criminal justice system gave rise to the world’s largest system of migrant incarceration. Migrant detention is not simply an outgrowth of mass incarceration; rather, it has propelled carceral state – building and fostered intergovernmental policing efforts since the turn of the twentieth century.
Light hors d’ oeuvres will follow the presentation and Q&A.
Co-sponsored with W&M Libraries and the Department of History.
Please RSVP for head count.
