'This is without question the most thorough and comprehensive study of identification documents in American life ever to have been executed. It is likely to remain the standard study for a long time to come.' John Torpey, The Graduate Center, City University of New York 'Krajewska offers a comprehensive account of the history of identification documents in the modern United States, showing not only how Americans have argued about identification documents, but also how such documents have been used to police citizens and immigrants alike. In a historical moment of mounting anti-immigrant sentiment, this book is essential reading.'
