Insightful! This book covers the construction of popular ideas of immigration, migration, race, "invasive species," species as entities, and more by revealing the history and tools at work to support these widely-held beliefs. Reads for a popular audience and sometimes I wish it would delve deeper. At times the author chooses to dismantle low-hanging fruit of statements by Pres. 45 and his administration rather than the veiled but still problematic anti-migrant policies within Obama era or other liberal circles. Also, this book never directly confronts the main fear surrounding "invasive species" and the dramatic impacts they can have on localities, leading to extinctions. In a borderless world is it OK to still try to repel disruptive others? How do we accept the movement of species without consigning ourselves to mourning the loss of rare flora/fauna?
