Tanya Golash-Boza is a Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Merced. She has published five sole-authored books and 35 articles and book chapters. Her latest book Deported: Immigrant Policing, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism was awarded the Distinguished Contribution to Research Book Award from the Latino/a Studies Section of the American Sociological Association.

Her previous book, Due Process Denied (Routledge 2012), describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment. Immigration Nation (Paradigm 2012), provides a critical analysis of the impact that U.S. immigration policy has on human rights. Yo Soy Negro: Blackness in Peru (University Press of Florida 2011) explores discourses of blackness and racial identity in Peru. Her textbook, Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach (Oxford University Press 2015) provides a critical overview of contemporary race scholarship.
