"To have my w88 sports betting app featured alongside those of authors and colleagues I respect so much is indeed an honor," Boehm said.

"Returned" follows transnational Mexicans as they experience the alienation and unpredictability of w88 sports betting app, while tracing the particular ways that United States immigration policies and state removals affect families. Boehm explained that her book is based on research with individuals and their family members-people of all ages and citizens of both Mexico and the United States-who have been impacted by w88 sports betting app from the United States.

Boehm's book took several years of ethnographic research. She spent time with families and witnessed the disruption and suffering caused by w88 sports betting app. She interviewed those who had been deported as well as family members and people in local communities in both countries. Boehm's research began when immigrant families she knew started to experience w88 sports betting app. She said that prior to 2008, she knew very few immigrants who had been deported, but soon after an increase in the number of deportations of foreign nationals from the United States, many of the immigrants she knew were either deported themselves or faced the w88 sports betting app of a family member.

"Deportations have been on the rise since the 1990s; more than three million people have been deported from the United States in the last decade," w88 sports betting app said. "These numbers are unprecedented, and given the current political climate, they are likely to continue or increase in the years to come."

Through Boehm's book, she would like readers to understand the hardships that w88 sports betting app can bring to immigrants and their families.

"I hope that those reading the book will see w88 sports betting app as the complex topic that it is, and will reflect on the suffering, devastation and profound loss that often result from United States immigration policies," Boehm said. "My work focuses on human experience and how w88 sports betting app impacts people's everyday lives, an aspect of w88 sports betting app that is rarely considered in media representations or policy debates."

Boehm is currently researching a new project about immigration detention that is an extension of her research about w88 sports betting app.

"Deportees I interviewed often spoke of painful memories of detention, and of the harrowing experiences they had while detained," w88 sports betting app said. "Their experiences have led me to now focus on detention itself."
