International borders have become deadly barriers of a proportion
rivaled only by war or natural disaster. Yet despite the damage
created by borders, most people can't - or don't want to - imagine
a world without them. What alternatives do we have to prevent the
deadly results of contemporary borders? In today's world, national
citizenship determines a person's ability to migrate across
borders. Migration Borders Freedom questions that premise.
Recognizing the magnitude of deaths occurring at contemporary
borders worldwide, the book problematizes the concept of the border
and develops arguments for open borders and a world without
borders. It explores alternative possibilities, ranging from the
practical to the utopian, that link migration with ideas of
community, citizenship, and belonging. The author calls into
question the conventional political imagination that assumes
migration and citizenship to be responsibilities of nation states,
rather than cities. While the book draws on the theoretical work of
thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, David Harvey, and Henry Lefebvre, it
also presents international empirical examples of policies and
practices on migration and claims of belonging. In this way, the
book equips the reader with the practical and conceptual tools for
political action, activist practice, and scholarly engagement to
achieve greater justice for people who are on the move.
