Kitty Calavita Series

Kitty Calavita investigates the interplay of political, ideological, and economic factors in the implementation of immigration law and the treatment of white-collar crime. Her work reveals what these dynamics tell us about power relations and state processes. She examines the everyday dilemmas of immigration inspectors and contradictory assumptions about race, class, and identity. Her research also explores the implementation of immigration policy in Italy and Spain.
