Immigration in an Age of Global Apartheid," published in 2 8 byJoseph Nevins. Dying to Live: A Story of U.S. ReferencesHowell, M. Context: Place of Book in Theoretical Frameworks Used to Study Migration Nevins (2 9: 1-2) states that what he is offering is atheoretical framework for international migration which is consistent witha general open border policy which would be a policy that allowsunrestricted entrance and exit from one country to another. Beyond this, the fact is that most historicalresearch is qualitative in nature and this means that it is subject to thesame methodologically problematic elements as all qualitative research.This would include such factors as the lack of control of variables,difficulties supporting any causative claims, and the trustworthiness offormulated conclusions (see: Howell & Prevenier, 2 1: 44-128). From reliable sources: An introduction to historical methods. Specifically, Nevins (1) notes that: The effect is to deny many across the globe some of the most basic human rights. Audience For the Book In the interview for Znet, Nevins (2 9: 1-2) states that while hewould love to see the book widely read, it is really meant for those whoare generally pro-immigrant and pro-human rights while supporting somelevel of boundary enforcement. Itshould be noted that Nevins (2 9:1) is for open borders, so it seemsreasonable to assume that there is a likelihood he would like to soften theviews of his audience on whatever low levels of border enforcement they mayalready possess. "Dying to Live: A Story of U.S. Immigration in an Age of Global Apartheid ZNet Interview with Joseph Nevins about his new book." (February 4, 2 9) . Nevins (2 9: 1-2) states that another important point the book makesis the idea that the international context of almost all immigration can belikened to a form of apartheid in which the wealthy and predominately whitecan travel and live most anywhere while the poor and largely non-whitepopulations are forced to subsist in confined geographic areas. He is hoping that this book will help thosewho already seen things in a pro-immigrant/pro-human rights framework tobetter understand the inequalities associated with these issues and,therefore, to put even more effort into fighting these inequalities. Oral histories arealso sometimes used as well. Evidence Provided For Important Points Made in The Book Like all good historical research, Nevins (2 9: 13-225) uses avariety of primary and secondary sources to document his claims. IMMIGRATION IN AN AGE OF GLOBAL APARTHEID---- A BOOK REVIEW Introduction The purpose of this paper is review the book, "Dying to Live: A Storyof U.S. This review examines the important points made in the bookas well as the evidence provided for those points. Ithaca, New York: Cornell University Press. Given thesefacts, it seems reasonable to state that, at best, only a moderate level ofconfidence should be placed in the evidence for the points that are madein the book. (2 1). And if they succeed in migrating, they must endure all the indignities and hazards associated with being "illegal." The foregoing expansion and association with apartheid is somewhatunique. There are some points that could be tested empiricallyregarding migration and if these are tested and do support Nevins claims,at that point more confidence could be placed in the claims. In other words, the contextand the phenomena involved and associated with the life of Cesar Gallegosis discussed in the book as a part of a much larger circumstance, a globalcircumstance involving almost all migration. Nevins(2 9: 1-2) also makes the point that attempts to break free of this globalconfinement is dangerous and life-threatening. DYING TO LIVE: A STORY OF U.S. Nevins reportsthat limiting mobility is unjust and harmful; and given the racialdifference in mobility levels, limited mobility is also said to be raciallybiased which is why he refers to it in his book as 'global apartheid.' In addition to the foregoing, Nevins (2 9: 1) notes that the U.S.State Department has called restrictions on internal mobility within thecountry as 'human rights violations.' In the theoretical framework heoffers, Nevins extends this view to international restrictions on mobilityas well. It forces them to subsist where there are not enough resources to provide sufficient livelihood or, in order to overcome their deprivation and insecurity, to risk their lives trying to overcome ever-stronger boundary controls put into place by the countries of privilege that reject them. Important Points Made in the Book In an interview for ZNet, Nevins (2 9:1-2) states that while thegeneral storyline in his book is about the life and death of CesarGallegos, what he is trying to communicate is that if one looks at thehistory of a given geographic area housing migrants (a man who diedcrossing the border to try to unite with his wife and son who weremigrants), it is soon seen that these places or areas, "...embody deepinequalities along the lines of race, class, and nationality..(and)...agreat deal of violence and injustice." Specifically, Nevins (1-2) informsthat his book places migration and the area in which migrants live within alarger and subsuming context of conquest, dispossession and socioeconomicinequalities. 44-128.Nevins, J. However, as Nevins (2 9: 1-2) points out, it is not difficult tobe unique or novel in one's conceptual underpinnings in this area sincelittle has been written in terms of an international conceptual frameworkfor migration. There can be some degree of concern as to how well Nevins consideredthe slant or biases of the information he was working with and/or his ownparticular slant or bias. C., & Prevenier, W. Thesesources include information in documents such as records and interviews,written and printed materials, periodicals and so forth. The review alsodescribes the audience the book is meant for and explores the context ofthe book in terms of the existing theoretical frameworks used to studymigration.
