The Flower Shop
Beautiful blossoms flourish in the front of the Floreria Roma-- but dangerous plans are blooming in the back room. Harry, an un-employed American newspaper reporter, comes to Mexico to have a good time. He wants to see the sights, play golf, go fishing, and hit the beach. His first night in Mexico City he has dinner with Rosa, a blue-eyed blonde Mexican girl, and he stumbles on a body in the back of the restaurant. From then on, he and Rosa are forced to fight for their lives, caught in the middle of a complex Cold War conspiracy to sabotage and eventually to take over Pemex, the government oil monopoly. Within days of arriving Harry has three job offers, including an offer from Rosa's boss at the Floreria Roma, and another for a part time job with United Press. When he visits the back room of the flower shop he discovers that the conspiracy goes well beyond the Pemex takeover and includes assassination and catastrophic global disorder.

Targeting Immigrants
This book is concerned with the government of “illegal” immigration since the passage of the U.S. Immigration Act of 1965, exploring how certain mentalities and intellectual machineries have rendered illegal immigrants as targets of government. Examines how various authorities have created knowledge about and constructed “illegal” immigration as an ethical problem. Analyzes the tactics that have been deployed to govern immigration, particularly at the US-Mexico border. Using an ethnographic approach, draws on primary source materials – including government publications, archival documents, newspapers, and popular magazines. Studies measures (e.g. Operation Gatekeeper and Operation Hold-the-Line) for reforming the conduct of “illegal” immigrants in order to forestall illicit border crossings. Frames the study of immigration within Foucauldian theories of governmentality. Highlights the role of numbers and statistics in constructing the “illegal” immigrant.
