"FENCING IN DEMOCRACY is an ethnography examining groups that are usually left out of national discussions about the border wall: the communities living right on the border. Drawing on extensive primary research, the authors argue that a variety of factors, including media narratives, complex political maneuvering, and purposefully marginalizing discourse, have placed border communities in a state of necrocitizenship - a set of citizenship practices produced in response to exclusionary regimes that emphasize death. Throughout the book they show necrocitizenship as operating on three levels; the increasing militarization of border regions, the building of walls along international boundaries, and the privileging of the patriotic subject, one who is willing to die for one's country"--
Note:
The politics of bisection: a visual ethnography of rebordering and rajando -- Not walls, bridges: rituals of necrocitizenship -- Necrocitizenship enacted: raping white women and consolidating the State of exception -- Bleeding like the State: the open veins of Latin America -- Necrocitizenship kills.
