‘In Bordering the authors give us an account that brings together the multiple vectors that constitute a border, making legible components of borders we never think of. And they discover that border brutality can include much more than the familiar notions and images we see in newspapers.’Saskia Sassen, Columbia University, author of Expulsions ‘A path-breaking study of borders and bordering processes that combines theoretical depth with empirical insight. It points to the many and varied ways in which bordering processes weave together sociopolitical and economic dimensions across complex and contested terrains. Highly recommended.’Avtar Brah, Professor Emerita of Sociology, Birkbeck College, University of London"The authors of this fascinating, highly topical and ambitious book demonstrate compellingly how borders/borderings have moved from the margins into the middle of political and everyday life. Borders and the processes of bordering weave together various domains of socio-political and economic life and are also vigorously mobilized to transform and redefine the key categories of social life, such as identity, belonging and citizenship. This book is a well-written, theoretically informed, and historically and politically sensitive. Its empirical illustrations are rich and well-selected. This volume can be warmly recommended to all scholars interested in one of the most burning issues of the contemporary ever more mobile world that is borders, and the multi-scalar processes of de- and re-bordering occurring both inside and outside of state territories."Professor Paasi Anssi, University of Oulu“A compelling illustration of different bordering processes and how their reach extends throughout society.”Catherine Schmidt , University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada“Researchers interested in a practical guide to intersectional approaches in qualitative research and those curious about the many forms of borderings that regulate quotidian life today will appreciate this book.”The Border Criminologies blog
