Summary:	"Illegal immigration is a highly iconic topic. The public perception of the current regime for mobility is profoundly shaped by visual and verbal images. As the issue of illegal immigration is gaining increasing political momentum, the editors feel it is a well-warranted undertaking to analyze the role of images in the creation of illegalization. They map out an iconography of illegal immigration in relation to political, ethical, and aesthetic discourses. They discuss the need to project new images as well as the dangers of giving persons without legal papers an individual face. Illegalization is produced by law, but naturalized through the everyday use of images."--Publisher description.
