Edition: (electronic bk.)
Summary:
Since the late nineteenth century, immigrant women s sexuality has
been viewed as a threat to national security, to be contained through
strict border-monitoring practices. By scrutinizing this policy, its
origins, and its application, Eithne Luibhéid shows how the U.S.
border became a site not just for controlling female sexuality but
also for contesting, constructing, and renegotiating sexual identity.
