The familiar, heartbreaking stories of dangerous treks, migrant exploitation, asylum, family separation and detention all have their roots in the material conditions of the dominant economic system. Immigrants’ place in American democracy has long been intertwined with questions of cheap labor and exploitation, sovereign power, and the preservation of class relations. Through different facets of the immigration system, Borderlines explores how power and profit are perpetuated by the divisions between migrant and citizen and the resulting dehumanization of both. It demonstrates the necessity of a radical working-class demand for economic and political justice across borders and the edges of democracy.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781789045062","publication_date":"20210801","publisher":"Zer0 Books","slug":"borderlines","subtitle":"The Edges of US Capitalism, Immigration, and Democracy","title":"Borderlines"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"POL035010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Human Rights","score":0.7467,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL011020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Trade & Tariffs","score":0.7341,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"SOC008050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Studies","score":0.7321,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"POL035010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Human Rights","score":0.7467,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL011020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Trade & Tariffs","score":0.7341,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"SOC008050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Studies","score":0.7321,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"LAW032000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Immigration & Emigration Law","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL013000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Labor & Industrial Relations","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL035010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Human Rights","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Human Rights","score":0.7467,"slug":"human-rights"},{"label":"Trade & Tariffs","score":0.7341,"slug":"trade-tariffs"},{"label":"Caribbean & Latin American Studies","score":0.7321,"slug":"caribbean-latin-american-studies"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in how capitalism shapes immigration and democracy","Readers seeking cross-border working-class arguments for economic and political justice"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Jose Antonio Vargas"],"book_id":"9780062851345","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062851345.jpg?v=9de46efaf0238c5d","score":0.7025,"title":"Dear America","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062851345"},{"authors":["Jonathan Blitzer"],"book_id":"9781984880802","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781984880802.jpg?v=7029136f22d479fe","score":0.6999,"title":"Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781984880802"},{"authors":["Peter Schweizer"],"book_id":"9780063422513","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063422513.jpg?v=bdaca2f514cccf67","score":0.6997,"title":"The Invisible Coup","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063422513"},{"authors":["Jennifer De Leon"],"book_id":"9781665904179","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781665904179.jpg?v=cbbfef003ae68da7","score":0.6964,"title":"Borderless","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781665904179"},{"authors":["Jorge Duany"],"book_id":"9780807872031","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780807872031.jpg?v=29567bdd0a700365","score":0.6957,"title":"Blurred Borders","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780807872031"},{"authors":["Ana Raquel Minian"],"book_id":"9780593654255","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593654255.jpg?v=4f328d91cffa5914","score":0.6942,"title":"In the Shadow of Liberty","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593654255"},{"authors":["Zeke Hernandez"],"book_id":"9781250288240","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250288240.jpg?v=bfe9fb1de9155538","score":0.6934,"title":"The Truth About Immigration","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250288240"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:history of american immigration policy"],"label":"History","score":0.4536,"slug":"history"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Capitalism and immigration, Migrant-citizen divisions, Cross-border working-class justice.","Themes: History.","Reading lane: Human Rights and Trade & Tariffs."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in how capitalism shapes immigration and democracy","Readers seeking cross-border working-class arguments for economic and political justice"],"themes":["Capitalism and immigration","Migrant-citizen divisions","Cross-border working-class justice"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":6,"goodreads_reviews_count":2,"quality_score":0.827}}
