Rigorously argued and elegantly written, Deporting Europeans: The Racialized Mobility of Europeans in France provides crucial insight to the inner functioning of the bilateral relationship between France and Romania with regard to mobility and citizenship. Ioana Vrabiescu’s examination of the role of policing under new parameters of global mobility weaves together historical depth, compelling personal reflection, and rich empirical data. The analysis deftly reveals how the re-articulation of borders in tandem with racialized policing practices towards ‘undesirable non-Europeans’ reinforces state sovereignty through the deportation regime. This field-enriching book forces us to question the enabling aspects of unequal power relations between EU member states and the consequences of these hierarchies for migrant people.
