Every year, millions of people from around the world grapple with
the European Union's emerging migration management apparatus.
Through border controls, biometric information technology, and
circular migration programs, this amorphous system combines a
whirlwind of disparate policies. The Migration Apparatus examines
the daily practices of migration policy officials as they attempt
to harmonize legal channels for labor migrants while simultaneously
cracking down on illegal migration. Working in the crosshairs of
debates surrounding national security and labor, officials have
limited individual influence, few ties to each other, and no
serious contact with the people whose movements they regulate. As
Feldman reveals, this complex construction creates a world of
indirect human relations that enables the violence of social
indifference as much as the targeted brutality of collective
hatred. Employing an innovative "nonlocal" ethnographic
methodology, Feldman illuminates the danger of allowing
indifference to govern how we regulate population-and people's
lives-in the world today.
