Alison Mountz is a prominent scholar known for her contributions to the fields of migration studies and political geography. Her work focuses on the intersections of race, borders, and migration detention, particularly in the context of the United States. In her influential book, "Boats, Borders, and Bases: Race, the Cold War, and the Rise of Migration Detention in the United States," Mountz examines how historical and contemporary policies shape the experiences of migrants, revealing the complex dynamics at play in migration governance. She argues that these policies are deeply intertwined with broader geopolitical issues and racialized notions of belonging.
