Across the globe, migration has been met with intensifying modes of
criminalization and securitization, and claims for political asylum
are increasingly met with suspicion. Asylum seekers have become the
focus of global debates surrounding humanitarian obligations, on
the one hand, and concerns surrounding national security and border
control, on the other. In Technologies of Suspicion and the Ethics
of Obligation in Political Asylum, contributors provide fine-tuned
analyses of political asylum systems and the adjudication of asylum
claims across a range of sociocultural and geopolitical contexts.
The contributors to this timely volume, drawing on a variety of
theoretical perspectives, offer critical insights into the
processes by which tensions between humanitarianism and security
are negotiated at the local level, often with negative consequences
for asylum seekers. By investigating how a politics of suspicion
within asylum systems is enacted in everyday practices and
interactions, the authors illustrate how asylum seekers are often
produced as suspicious subjects by the very systems to which they
appeal for protection. Contributors: Ilil Benjamin, Carol Bohmer,
Nadia El-Shaarawi, Bridget M. Haas, John Beard Haviland, Marco
Jacquemet, Benjamin N. Lawrance, Rachel Lewis, Sara McKinnon, Amy
Shuman, Charles Watters
