Holly Karibo's research focuses on the history of vice, labor and sexuality in transnational urban spaces. Her first book, "Sin City North: Sex, Drugs, and Citizenship in the Detroit-Windsor Borderland" (UNC Press, 2015), examines the history of illegal economies in the Great Lakes border region during the post-World War II period. Karibo has also published several peer-reviewed journal articles in Journal of the Southwest, Social History of Medicine, Histoire sociale/Social History, American Review of Canadian Studies, Social History of Alcohol and Drugs, 49th Parallel and Neoamericanist. Her current book project, A New Home on the Range, examines the history of federal drug treatment facilities and the ways in which they were incorporated into a larger system of incarceration and punishment in the American West during the mid-twentieth century.
