"Andy Lamey tackles this timely and critical debate with an
intellect and a passion that are formidable. Frontier Justice
could, quiet possibly, have a lasting effect on policy in Canada
and elsewhere."
—The Globe and Mail
"Compulsively readable, at times heartbreaking and
super-smart."
—Jeet Heer, literary journalist
"A book that pulses with intellectual curiosity and energy . . . a
calm, lucid voice in a a debate often sidetracked by terrorist
panic and hypocrisy about human rights."
—The Chronicle Herald (Halifax)
"Despite its grounding in political theory and legal history, this
is not a political-science textbook. Lamey introduces the reader to
real refugees, offering portraits, for example, of Haitians
detained at Guantanamo Bay before and during the Clinton
administration. There are even sections where the book becomes a
page-turner."
—The Ottawa Citizen
"Frontier Justice provides what the debate over asylum and refugee
claims so desperately needs: fresh thinking and historical
perspective. Here is a wonderful writer tackling a subject, and a
debate, as big as his talent."
—Paul Wells, Maclean's columnist
"[A] superb and immensely readable work."
—The Literary Review of Canada
"Andy Lamey has produced a persuasive argument for changes to
refugee systems around the world."
—The Winnipeg Free Press
