My current book project is on the 1965 Hart-Cellar Immigration Act, examining this historic legislation against the backdrop of Cold War geo-politics and domestic civil rights mobilization. Broad in scope, this book explores the transformations wrought by this dramatic overhaul of US immigration enforcement focusing on the entanglement of U.S. foreign and domestic policy imperatives in the refashioning of U.S. borders. This project also highlights the political dilemmas occasioned by the establishment of new restrictive quotas curtailing immigration from Latin America.
