THE COST OF BORDERS By Heba Gowayed
Imprint: University of California Press
Deal Report
August 31, 2026
Carnegie Fellow and CUNY sociologist Heba Gowayed's THE COST OF BORDERS, revealing the nature of global frontiers through the stories of people who journey across them, challenging lay and legal conceptions of borders, showing them as for-profit enterprises of state and private industry, whose costs are borne by everyone, not just in smugglers' fees and tax dollars, but also in lives, freedoms, and the very safety they are alleged to protect, to Naomi Schneider at University of California Press, at auction, by Sarah Burnes at The Gernert Company (world).

A Haitian friend lives is terror as the July 24 deadline for termination of TPS looms. He smiles as he always does but can’t help but look pained, “they will start deportations” he said. This is a man my son runs to from across the street to hug. Not sure how to raise him in this cruel world.

American peace activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi would've turned 27 today. But Israeli forces killed her 11 months ago. Both Biden & Trump did nothing to seek accountability. Instead the US sent Israel $12 billion in weapons & another $4 billion in aid. And then Israeli settlers killed another American.

I think this is a brilliant framing of this issue. If the government can send people to a third world country to a lifetime of involuntary servitude, that is slavery. Query whether this meets the “jurisdiction” requirement of the 13th Amendment (the officials sending them are!)
