Entry denied [Elektronisk resurs] controlling sexuality at the border / Eithne Luibhéid.

• Entry denied : a history of U.S. immigration control -- A blueprint for exclusion : the Page law, prostitution, and discrimination against Chinese women -- Birthing a nation : race, ethnicity, and childbearing -- Looking like a lesbian : sexual monitoring at the U.S.-Mexico border -- Rape, asylum, and the U.S. border patrol.

• Since the late nineteenth century, immigrant women's sexuality has been viewed as a threat to national security, to be contained through strict border-monitoring practices. By scrutinizing this policy, its origins, and its application, Eithne Luibhéid shows how the U.S. border became a site not just for controlling female sexuality but also for contesting, constructing, and renegotiating sexual identity.
