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 policyHistoryWomen immigrantsGovernment policyHistory.Sex and lawHistory.325.73/082Luibhéid Eithne861515MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784399103321Entry denied3691790UNINA
