 Shadow of Liberty: The Invisible History of Immigrant Detention in the 
 United States" is aprobing work of narrative history that reveals the 
 hidden story of immigrant detention in the United States, deepening urgent 
 national conversations around migration.\n\nIn 2018, many Americans watched 
 in horror as children were torn from their parents at the US-Mexico border 
 under Trump’s “family separation” policy. But as historian Ana Raquel 
 Minian reveals in In the Shadow of Liberty, this was only the latest 
 chapter in a saga tracing back to the 1800s—one in which immigrants to 
 the United States have been held without recourse to their constitutional 
 rights. Braiding together the vivid stories of four migrants seeking to 
 escape the turmoil of their homelands for the promise of America, In the 
 Shadow of Liberty gives this history a human face, telling the dramatic 
 story of a Central American asylum seeker, a Cuban exile, a European war 
 bride, and a Chinese refugee.\n\nAs we travel alongside these indelible 
 characters, In the Shadow of Liberty explores how sites of rightlessness 
 have evolved, and what their existence has meant for our body politic. 
 Though these “black sites” exist out of view for the average American, 
 their reach extends into all of our lives: the explosive growth of the 
 for-profit prison industry traces its origins to the immigrant detention 
 system, as does the emergence of Guantanamo and the gradual unraveling of 
 the right to bail and the presumption of innocence. Through these 
 narratives, we see how the changing political climate surrounding 
 immigration has played out in individual lives, and at what cost. But as 
 these stories demonstrate, it doesn’t have to be like this, and a better 
 way might be possible.\n\nAna Raquel Minian is a professor of history at 
 Stanford University and the author of the award-winning book Undocumented 
 Lives, published by Harvard University Press in 2018. A recipient of the 
 prestigious Andrew Carnegie fellowship, their writing has appeared in The 
 New York Times, The Atlantic, and Foreign Affairs, among other outlets. 
 Originally from Mexico City, they now live with their partner in the Bay 
 Area.\n\nThis event is made possible by the support of the City Lights 
 Foundation\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/03/30/18864686.php
