Beskrivning
This book examines the agency of forced migrants whose rights, it argues, are continuously contested, enacted and reclaimed from the margins.Drawing on a participatory action research study in Kuala Lumpur, which delved into borders and storytelling, this book argues that imaginaries of states and histories of colonialism have shaped both the asylum system and the implementation and enactment of rights. Bringing borderscapes into conversation with law and development, the book challenges state-centric perspectives on rights and demonstrates importance of community-led development. Alongside its scholarly analysis, it uses narratives to showcase the rights struggles experienced and actively resisted by forced migrants. Drawing on magical realism, the book reveals both the conventional ‘map’ of legal norms but also a counter-map, elicited through the lens of borderscapes, that provides alternative ways of imagining law, development, and access to rights beyond neoliberal notions of freedom. Forced migrants, the book demonstrates, themselves offer transformative visions and voices that challenge conventional boundaries and advocate for a more inclusive approach to social justice.This book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students working in the areas of law and development, migration studies socio-legal studies and human rights.

Recensioner i media

'Borderscapes in Law and Development is imaginative and deeply ethical. It is a work of care, art and politics all at once, teaching us new ways of approaching irregularised lives. The narrativised account of fieldwork is quite simply brilliant. It is groundbreaking and methodologically fascinating.'Prem Kumar Rajaram,Central European University, Vienna, Austria.'Stories are life. In times when written accounts strip the human from the events and places narrated to us, Borderscapes in Law and Development centres the human, humane, humanity in the ways in which practices, life and experiences are bordered. A creative telling to invite thinking of ways of being and to reinscribe the persons behind abstract notions of borders.'Jaime Chai Yun Liew, University of Ottawa, Canada.'Weaving together critical scholarly insights in law and development with original field explorations, Kaur takes us on a profound and empathetic journey of entangled imaginaries and stories that allow the lived experiences and everyday lives of forced migrants to be seen and felt. In the process, she gives not just voice to the forced migrants she deeply engaged with but also finds her own. Borderscapes in Law and Development delivers a must-read that is equally thoughtful as it is thought-provoking.'Christoph Sperfeld, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
