About this book
Deportation Cases of 1919-1920 by Constantine Panunzio offers a meticulous, impassioned inquiry into a turbulent chapter of American history that questions the balance between national security and individual rights. Framing the work as political science and historical investigation, Panunzio compiles and analyzes cases of persons labeled unlawfully present and subject to deportation during the post–World War I period.
The audiobook guides listeners through the legal procedures, administrative decisions, and public reactions that shaped deportation practice in 1919–1920, situating those events within the wider context of the Red Scare, labor unrest, and shifting immigration policy. Panunzio calls attention to practices he argues are inconsistent with American traditions of justice and fair play, offering clear summaries of case findings, contemporary commentary, and critical reflection on due process. The tone is investigative and evidence-driven, aimed at documenting how law and politics intersected in emergency periods.
Ideal for students and readers of political science, immigration law, modern American history, and civil liberties, this audiobook illuminates past policies that still resonate today. Listen to understand the origins of twentieth-century deportation practices and their lasting implications for democracy and legal rights.
