In iBanished Meni, Abigail Andrews and her students tell 186 of their stories. How, they ask, does expulsion shape men's lives and sense of themselves The book uncovers a harrowing carceral system that weaves together policing, prison, detention, removal, and border militarization to undermine migrants as men. Guards and gangs beat them down, till they feel like cockroaches, pigs, or dogs. Many lose ties with family. They do not go home. Instead, they end up in limbo stripped of their very humanity. Against the odds, they fight for new ways to belong. At once devastating and humane, iBanished Men ioffers a clear-eyed critique of the violence of deportation.
