‘For a policy area where power often seems to trump knowledge, the “power-knowledge” approach to researching deportation set out in this collection could not be more timely or relevant. Its reflections on navigating the violent borderlands of expulsion will not only interest scholars of deportation and migration but anyone researching issues characterized by profound asymmetries of citizenship, power and status.’
