"In a provocative contribution, Chouliaraki and Georgiou illuminate the exclusionary workingsof digital borders. This broad-ranging book launches a compelling critique of the constitutivepower of digital infrastructures in shaping the crisis of migration. Timely and topical, The DigitalBorder will be essential reading across disciplines about transformations in border regimes." (Radha S. Hegde, author of Mediating Migration ) "Provides a striking critical analysis of the mutations and workings of border regimes. While itsfocus is the digitalization of border control, it more broadly places its analysis within anunderstanding of the border as a field of tensions, shedding light on its territorial and symbolicdimension as well as on the multiple regimes of securitization at work today." (Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna) "The Digital Border's contribution lies in many spaces but its ability to connect questions of power, technology, datafication, entrepreneurship, the commons and media narratives is impressive... That this book is timely goes without saying. It's nuanced and thickly layered conceptual focus married to rich empirical cases does the work of appealing to different audiences at a time when imaginaries of crisis exist in a heightened form globally. As such, this book is the perfect companion to help debunk, re-imagine and understand the aggrieved world we find ourselves inhabiting in 2023." - Ethnic and Racial Studies (Ethnic and Racial Studies) "This book ... is a loud and well-crafted call for fundamental human rights and a deep analytical work that critically explores the structures and practices of inequality in citizenship and mobility. The book reveals a complex combination of humanitarianism and dehumanization of border work based on a pedagogy of crisis in Western societies that has the security-migration nexus at its core." (Nordic Journal of Migration Research) "The Digital Border is a self-reflexive account that challenges media and border narratives of dehumanization and victimization, while simultaneously interrogating recent literature that presents these narratives as one-dimensional binaries."
