Publications

Books

2006Targeting Immigrants: Government, Technology, and Ethics. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing.

The purpose of this book is to explore the conjunction between knowledge and governmental practice. More precisely, the study focuses on the government of illegal immigration. It is concerned, on the one hand, with the kinds of knowledge, the specific problematizations, and the various authorities that have constructed illegal immigrants as targets of government; and, on the other, with the specific tactics, techniques, and programs that have been deployed to manage this population. The book, in short, is concerned with how illegal immigrants have been problematized as objects of knowledge and governmental intervention.

Edited Volumes

2008The Anthropology of Globalization. 2nd Edition. Edited by Jonathan Xavier Inda and Renato Rosaldo. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing.

The Anthropology of Globalization provides an introduction to global change, focusing simultaneously on the large-scale processes through which various cultures are becoming increasingly interconnected, and on the ways that people around the world mediate these processes in culturally specific ways. This new edition also addresses the limits of global mobility and connection.

2005Anthropologies of Modernity: Foucault, Governmentality, and Life Politics. Edited by Jonathan Xavier Inda. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing.

This volume provides a critical perspective on the meaning and significance of modernity – one of the more significant areas of anthropological inquiry.The purposes of the book are especially (1) to introduce students and scholars to the growing and exciting body of anthropological literature on modernity; (2) to introduce readers to Foucauldian inspired anthropologies, thus demonstrating the pertinence of Foucault for contemporary anthropological study; and (3) to highlight the importance of ethnographic approaches for Foucauldian scholarship and for the study of modernity.

2002The Anthropology of Globalization. Edited by Jonathan Xavier Inda and Renato Rosaldo. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishers.

The objective of the edited book is twofold: (1) to introduce students and scholars to the growing and exciting, yet little known, body of anthropological literature on globalization, and (2) to highlight the importance of ethnographic approaches to the study of globalizing processes.

1999 Race, Identity, and Citizenship. Edited by Rodolfo D. Torres, Louis F. Mirón, and Jonathan Xavier Inda. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishers.

This book brings together articles by some of the leading American and European scholars working on questions of race, identity, and citizenship. Topics covered include multiracial feminisms, fashioning mixed raced, the color(s) of whiteness, locating class, and cultural citizenship.
