Description: In examining imperialism and migration together, Emily Mitchell-Eaton reveals connections and flows between presumably distant, "remote" sites like Arkansas and the Marshall Islands, showing them to be central to the United States' most urgent political issues: immigration, racial justice, militarization, and decolonization.

Review Quotes: Mitchell-Eaton sheds new light on the critically important issues of migration, citizenship, and bordering by bringing forward and interrogating the notion of imperial citizenship--what it is, how it impacts people, how state actors enact it, and how people experience it. This new perspective in New Destinations of Empire makes important contributions not only to the robust scholarly conversation within the fields of geography, sociology, and migration studies but also to the public and political conversations and policy-making in regard to migration that are so vexing in the world today.--Mona Domosh "author of Disturbing Development in the Jim Crow South"
