In the context of both the financial crisis and the crisis of
European migration politics, the notion of solidarity has gained
renewed prominence and - as this book argues - its practice has
become increasingly contentious. Intersecting crises have sharpened
social and political polarization and have contracted
simultaneously the space for migrant and minority rights as well as
the rights around political dissent. Building upon social movement
and migration studies, this book maps the two sides of
‘contentious solidarity’: a shrinking civic space and its
contestation by civil society. The book thereby unfolds the variety
of repressive means (physical, legal, administrative and
discursive) employed by governmental and non-governmental bodies
against migrant solidarity, but also looks at how civil society
organizations react to these restrictions through at times
moderation and at times increasing contention. The diagnosis of
‘contentious solidarity’ is located within two broader trends
affecting the relationship between the state and civil society in a
neoliberal context in general and since the financial crisis in
particular. Bridging studies on social movement studies and civil
society organizations, this volume contributes to recent
reflections on repression of social movements as well as of a
hybridization of civil society organizations. Given its broad scope
and the utmost timeliness of the issues it addresses, the volume
will be of interest to a broad academic and non-academic audience.
