Beskrivning

The Borders of America examines the tension between human migration and the diverse formations of border control and immigration and asylum policy that have arisen across the Americas since the start of the twenty-first century. The collection develops a single analytical framework that is hemispheric in scope, encompassing the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and the full extent of Latin America. The contributors offer the concept of a “border regime” as an epistemological and methodological approach that comprehends borders not merely as physical demarcations between state territories and jurisdictions but rather as expansive, uneven, and heterogeneous spaces of constant encounter, exchange, dispute, tension, conflict, and contestation. Presenting detailed empirical research into contemporary intra-regional and transcontinental mobilities across the hemisphere, The Borders of America scrutinizes an array of critical nodes in the larger configuration of the trans-American border regime.Contributors. Soledad Álvarez Velasco, Tanya Basok, Janneth Clavijo, Nicholas De Genova, Gustavo Dias, Eduardo Domenech, Roberto Dufraix-Tapia, Jonathan Echeverri Zuluaga, Valentina Glockner Fagetti, Luin Goldring, Patricia Landolt, Carolina Moulin, Margarita Luz NÚÑez Chaim, Juan OrdÓÑez, Daniel Quinteros, Romina Ramos, Martha Rojas-Wiesner, Fabio Santos, Amarela Varela-Huerta, and Laura Velasco Ortiz

Recensioner i media

“The Borders of America stares past the icy violence of border enforcement to reveal how migrants traverse and live beyond America’s manifold boundaries. With hemispheric sweep from Canada through Latin America, this collection shows how migrant mobilities shape border regimes, creating conflicted political spaces where power and authority are always at stake. The volume’s crucial insight: no border stands alone—America’s borders enact and configure a wider global architecture of movement, resistance, and control.”—Brett Neilson, coauthor of The Politics of Operations: Excavating Contemporary Capitalism"This insightful collection is conceptually sharp and geographically ambitious, exploring broad migration patterns and policing trends while shifting attention to the lives of people working in and migrating across the Americas. Authors based throughout the region critically engage with colonial histories and imperial geographies that wend their way through border externalization." —Alison Mountz, Professor of Geography and Planning, University of Toronto
