"While this book offers a great deal to theorisations of resistance as well as critical citizenship studies and “autonomy of migration” literature, what I found most exciting was thinking through how each of Stierl’s examples brings to light the messy entanglement of EUrope’s borders and the ever-changing spatialities of migration control."Andonea Jon Dickson, Queen Mary, University of London
