TLDR
The authors examines the place of refugees in the national order of things and suggests that the displacement of refugees is constituted differently from other kinds of deterritorialization by those states, organizations, and scholars who are concerned with refugees.Abstract:
In this new theoretical crossroads, examining the
place of refugees in the national order of things
becomes a clarifying exercise. On the one hand, trying to understand the circumstances of particular
groups of refugees illuminates the complexity of
the ways in which people construct, remember, and
lay claim to particular places as “homelands” or
“nations.” On the other, examining how refugees
become an object of knowledge and management
suggests that the displacement of refugees is constituted differently from other kinds of deterritorialization by those states, organizations, and
scholars who are concerned with refugees. Here,
the contemporary category of refugees is a particularly informative one in the study of the
sociopolitical construction of space and place.read more

The Legal Production of Mexican/Migrant “Illegality”
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of US immigration laws in Mexican migration to the US and found that while no other country has supplied nearly as many migrants to the USA as Mexico has since 1965, virtually all major changes in US immigration law during this period have created ever more severe restrictions on the conditions of “legal” migration from Mexico.
