Professor Guild, Kingsley Napley LLP 'Dan Wilsher has written a well-researched, thoughtful, challenging, and extremely important book. His analysis is both theoretically sharp and well-attuned to practical issues with which he has considerable real-world experience. By focusing on the specific legal and political problems caused by immigration detention, Wilsher raises powerful questions about our commitment to the rule of law itself. His proposed solutions stand in the best traditions of human rights law, broadly, pragmatically, and humanely understood. This book should be read not only by those who care about the rights of noncitizens, but also by all who are concerned about recent erosions in legal protections for us all.' Daniel Kanstroom, Professor of Law and Director, International Human Rights Program, Boston College Law School 'For scholars of immigration enforcement, statecraft, governmentality, and critical legal studies, this is a fascinating analysis.' Lauren Martin, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space 'Wilsher's book ably tackles not only the details of immigration detention in a number of states, but also the deeper constitutional principles underlying the debate over such detention. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the detention of foreign nationals on immigration or security grounds.' Steve Peers, International Journal of Refugee Law '... a compelling narrative of how history, politics and law have resulted in the present unprecedented use of immigration detention, and the fertile ground they provide for alternatives.'
