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.Women immigrantsGovernment policyUnited StatesHistorySex and lawUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyHistoryElectronic books.Women immigrantsGovernment policyHistory.Sex and lawHistory.325.73/082Luibhéid Eithne861515MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452229303321Entry denied2063067UNINA
