"Strong, provocative, and insightful. John Hultgren advances the field theoretically through his critique and integration of competing perspectives on sovereignty in environmental politics."--John M. Meyer, author of Engaging the Everyday: Environmental Social Criticism and the Resonance Dilemma "Raises stimulating and provocative questions about the links between nature and sovereignty, prompting the reader to think anew about the racialized logics and histories of American environmentalism. It provides us with intellectual resources to resist the post-election normalization of fascist, white-nationalist Trump and his restrictionist allies and nurtures our political imaginations to envision futures free from colonial, racial, and economic violences."-- Anatoli Igantov, New Political Science " Border Walls Gone Green makes several important contributions to the literatures on sovereignty and environmentalism. It is based on careful research on several manifestations of environmental restrictionism, which has influenced immigration policies in the United States and which could shape future social organizing and public policy."-- Maiah Jaskoski, Perspectives on Politics "This highly recommended book focuses on the nature of building US-Mexican border walls, the racism that has accompanied such policies, and the anti-immigration fervor that has followed within some environmental organizations.

The term that John Hultgren relies on to discuss this issue is "environmental restrictionism," and he discusses its efficacy very well in Border Walls Gone Green ."-- Sterling Evans, Environmental History "The premise is interesting, and the book is well researched and written."-- CHOICE "Highly recommended. Border Walls Gone Green deserves to be read and appreciated."-- Environmental History "A valuable contribution to our understanding of the politics surrounding immigration, environmentalism, sovereignty, and their inter- section."-- Perspective on Politics "Raises stimulating and provocative questions about the links between nature and sovereignty, prompting the reader to think anew about the racialized logics and histories of American environmentalism."-- New Political Science "In such a discursive matrix with real political implications, Border Walls Gone Green becomes an urgent text for reassessing the presuppositions of nature and culture that delineate how national lines are drawn--and how they might be sketched anew."-- Public Books.
