You Don't Have to Yell


Oct 20, 2022

Reece Jones, political geographer from the University of Hawaii Manoa, discusses how borders across the developed world have become more militarized as the economy has become more interconnected, and how the US has inadvertently created a nationalized police force whose powers extend further into the country than most Americans realize.

Reece's most recent book, White Borders: The History of Race and Immigration from the Chinese Exclusion Act to the Border Wall, can be purchased here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676268/white-borders-by-reece-jones/
