This book analyses the European border at Lampedusa as a metaphor
for visible and invisible powers that impinge on relations between
Europe and Africa/Asia. Taking an interdisciplinary approach
(political, social, cultural, economic and artistic), it explores
the island as a place where social relations based around race,
gender, sex, age and class are being reproduced and/or subverted.
The authors argue that Lampedusa should be understood as a
synecdoche for European borders and boundaries. Widening the
classical definition of the term 'border', the authors examine the
different meanings assigned to the term by migrants, the local
population, seafarers and associative actors based on their
subjective and embodied experiences. They reveal how migration
policies, international relations with African, Middle Eastern and
Asian countries, and the perpetuation of new forms of colonization
and imperialism entail heavy consequences for the European Union.
This work will appeal to a wide readership, from scholars of
migration, anthropology and sociology, to students of political
science, Italian, African and cultural studies.
