      abstract = {As scholars have by now long contended, global  neoliberalism and the violence associated with state  restructuring provide key frameworks for understanding  flows of people across national boundaries and, eventually,  into the treacherous terrains of the United States  borderlands. The proposed volume builds on this tradition  of situating migration and migrant death within broad,  systems-level frameworks of analysis, but contends that  there is another, perhaps somewhat less tidy, but no less  important sociopolitical story to be told here. Through  examination of how forensic scientists define, navigate,  and enact their work at the frontiers of US policy and  economics, this book joins a robust body of literature  dedicated to bridging social theory with bioarchaeological  applications to modern day problems. This volume is based  on deeply and critically reflective analyses, submitted by  individual scholars, wherein they navigate and position  themselves as social actors embedded within and, perhaps  partially constituted by, relations of power, cultural  ideologies, and the social structures characterizing this  moment in history. Each contribution addresses a different  variation on themes of power relations, production of  knowledge, and reflexivity in practice. In sum, however,  the chapters of this book trace relationships between  institutions, entities, and individuals comprising the  landscapes of migrant death and repatriation and considers  their articulation with sociopolitical dynamics of the  neoliberal state.},
