This book is an interdisciplinary study aimed at re-imagining and
re-routing contemporary migrations in the Mediterranean. Drawing
from visual arts, citizenship studies, film, media and cultural
studies, along with postcolonial, border, and decolonial
discourses, and examining the issues from within a human rights
framework, the book investigates how works of cultural production
can offer a more complex and humane understanding of mobility in
the Mediterranean beyond representations of illegality and/or
crisis. Elvira Pulitano centers the discourse of cultural
production around the island of Lampedusa but expands the island
geography to include a digital multi-media project, a social
enterprise in Palermo, Sicily, and overall reflections on race,
identity, and belonging inspired by Toni Morrison’s guest-curated
Louvre exhibit The Foreigner’s Home. Responding to recent calls
for alternative methodologies in thinking the modern Mediterranean,
Pulitano disseminates a fluid archive of contemporary migrations
reverberating with ancestral sounds and voices from the African
diaspora along a Mediterranean-TransAtlantic map. Adding to the
recent proliferation of social science scholarship that has drawn
attention to the role of artistic practice in migration studies,
the book features human stories of endurance and survival aimed at
enhancing knowledge and social justice beyond (and
notwithstanding)Â militarized borders and failed EU
policies.Â
