Description: Days after taking the White House Donald Trump signed three executive orders these authorized the Muslim Ban the border wall and ICE raids. These orders would define his administration's approach toward noncitizens. An essential primer on how we got here Bans Walls Raids Sanctuary shows that such barriers to immigration are embedded in the very foundation of the United States. A. Naomi Paik reveals that the forty - fifth president's xenophobic racist ableist patriarchal ascendancy is no aberration but the consequence of two centuries of U. S. political economic and social culture. She deftly demonstrates that attacks against migrants are tightly bound to assaults against women people of color workers ill and disabled people and queer and gender nonconforming people. Against this history of barriers and assaults Bans Walls Raids Sanctuary mounts a rallying cry for a broad - based abolitionist sanctuary movement for all.
