• W2054769059 abstract "Border Patrol and the Immigrant Body:Entry Denied: Policing Sexuality at the Border. Eithne Luibhéid Minneapolis: U of Minnesota P, 2002 Dara E. Goldman (bio) More than two decades have passed since the original publication of Foucault's History of Sexuality. By now, Foucault's work in these three volumes (along with other texts on related topics) occupies a prominent place within a canon of critical discourse on the intersection of sexuality, power and nationalism. Given the depth and breadth of this corpus of material and the concomitant critical discussion it has generated, it is tempting to assume that little remains to be said on the topic. Yet Eithne Luibhéid's Entry Denied: Policing Sexuality at the Border (Univ. of Minnesota Press, 2002) poses a serious challenge to this assumption. Luibhéid's study provides a careful and rigorous analysis of the regulation of sexuality by U.S. immigration, thereby offering an insightful and compelling contribution to this corpus of material. Admittedly, the basic premise and theoretical framing of the study will prove extremely familiar to any scholar of gender and/or sexuality. The point of departure for Luibhéid's work is the claim that, through their mandate to protect the nation from undesirable elements, U.S. immigration officials not only regulated [End Page 190] but—in fact—engendered sexuality. In order to enforce mandated restrictions on undesirable individuals seeking admission to the country, they created a code that rendered bodies legible. Through the construction and application of this code, moreover, the border patrol effectively sexualized the regulated subjects. Following a brief theoretical introduction and historical overview, Luibhéid presents a cogent and insightful analysis of the processes of discursive construction, interpretation and practical application at the U.S. border. The second and third chapters examine the regulation of Asian women, who were scrutinized for evidence of excessive sexuality (as potential prostitutes or inappropriate breeders). The fourth chapter analyzes the case of a woman who was detained and deported at the U.S.-Mexican border because the immigration officials identified her as a lesbian. Finally, the fifth chapter discusses how border officials deal with issues of rape and requests for asylum on sexual grounds. In the end, the author considers how immigration policies continue to be shaped and affected by the (hyper)sexualization of immigrant women through which they are always already circumscribed as undesirable and/or inappropriately desirable. By focusing on these key developments in policy and landmark cases, Luibhéid is able to trace how normativity has been created and reinforced by U.S. immigration officials during the late 19th and 20th centuries. In the process, she exposes the underlying forces that lead to a particular incarnation of citizenship that both relies on and reinforces specific visions of sexuality. According the author, legislation that has adjudicated the requirements for admission to the United States, such as the Page Law and the McCreary Amendment, has often enumerated restrictions without offering concrete guidelines for implementing or enforcing those restrictions. Hence, immigration officials were required to deny admission to anyone who appeared to be indecent or to be seeking entrance to United States for immoral purposes, yet they frequently received little or no instruction on how to recognize or assess these characteristics. The border thus became a site of incarnation as well as implementation; that is, immigration officers constructed policies, tests and measures that were designed to identify (and, consequently, interpellate) individual bodies as appropriate or undesirable. Each chapter of the book is devoted to a particular episode in U.S. immigration policy, offering ample historical evidence of how international politics, eugenics and prejudice have informed immigration law and practices. More important, these analyses draw connections among the ways in which such laws and practices have [End Page 191] applied particular restrictions regarding prostitutes, potential brides and mothers and purported lesbians, thereby demonstrating how female sexuality has been tied to hegemonic attitudes regarding the appropriate production and reproduction of the nation: immigrant women of color are scrutinized as potential sources of sexual and biological corruption that would ostensibly threaten this vision. Luibhéid also develops her analysis through the examination of specific case studies. These examples..." @default.
