"""A scorching indictment of America's immigrant detention system, In the Shadow of Liberty is as moving as it is urgent. Through deep archival research, unflinching historical analysis, and fearless reporting, Ana Raquel Minian explains how a country that prides itself as a nation of immigrants became, at the same time, a nation of prisons."" —Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States ""A valuable contribution to our understanding of the U.S. immigration system, In the Shadow of Liberty explores the sordid history of imprisonment and abuse of migrants seeking new lives in the United States. Based on an extraordinary study, this remarkable book shines much-needed light on a system of cruelty enacted away from the public eye yet nevertheless consequential to our broader narrative as a nation. Elegantly written, rigorously researched, and cogently argued, this is one of the most important books on immigration in the last decade."" —Roberto G. Gonzales, author of Lives in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America"
