Offshoring Migration Control: Transmigrants and the Construction of Mexico as a Buffer Zone

Join us for a lecture by Ana Raquel Minian, Associate Professor of History at Stanford University, where she teaches courses on Latinx history, immigration, histories of incarceration and detention, and modern Mexican history.

Ana Minian is the author of Undocumented Lives: The Untold Story of Mexican Migration (Harvard University Press, 2018) and the forthcoming In the Shadow of Liberty: The Invisible History of Immigrant Detention (Viking Press, April 2024). Her new book reveals the history of the immigrant detention system from its inception in the 1800s to the present.

This event takes place as part of the Eckstein Distinguished Lecture Series on Latin America in the World. Sponsored by the Pardee School of Global Studies in collaboration with the Center for Latin American Studies.
