Railroaded: How Trains Made Mass Immigrant Expulsion Possible.
- Authors
Young, Elliott
- Abstract
This article provides a historical overview of mass deportation in the United States, with a focus on the role of trains in facilitating the expulsion of migrants. The author argues that deportation played a significant role in the development of the American carceral state. The book "Deportation Express" by Ethan Blue offers a comprehensive examination of the deportation system, using trains as a central theme. The text explores the use of deportation trains in the early 20th century to remove migrants from the country, including individuals from diverse backgrounds. It also highlights the complex journeys migrants undertook and their resistance to deportation. The article concludes by emphasizing the ongoing challenges faced by migrants and the importance of global worker solidarity.
