Surveying the particular tactics employed by the United States during the Great Migration, the Dust Bowl, the Japanese American incarceration, and the migrant labor of the Southwest, Abigail G. H. Manzella reveals how the country's past is imbued with governmentally (en)forced movements that diminished access to full citizenship rights for the laboring class, people of color, and women. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This work is the first book-length study to examine all of these movements together along with their literature, including Zora Neale Hurston's \u003ci\u003eTheir Eyes Were Watching God, \u003c\/i\u003e Sanora Babb's \u003ci\u003eWhose Names Are Unknown, \u003c\/i\u003e Julie Otsuka's \u003ci\u003eWhen the Emperor Was Divine, \u003c\/i\u003e Helena María Viramontes's \u003ci\u003eUnder the Feet of Jesus, \u003c\/i\u003e and Jesmyn Ward's \u003ci\u003eSalvage the Bones.\u003c\/i\u003e Manzella shows how the United States' history of spatial colonization within its own borders extends beyond isolated incidents into a pattern based on ideology about nation-building, citizenship, and labor. This book seeks to theorize a Thirdspace, an alternate location for social justice that acknowledges the precarity of the internally displaced person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abigail G.
