The experience of border crossing for refugees and irregular
migrants challenges global border and migration controls in
multiple contexts. Using qualitative field research in Tanzania,
Spain, Morocco and Australia, Heather L. Johnson asks how a global
regime of migration management and control can be perceived through
the dynamics of particular border spaces: refugee camps, border
zones and detention centres. She explores how irregular migrants
are impacted by the increasingly security-oriented practices of
border control, and how they confront these practices. Johnson
rejects the characterization of border spaces as exceptional,
abject and exclusionary, arguing instead for an understanding of
politics as everyday contestation that reveals a radical political
agency, re-imagining the global non-citizen as a transgressive and
powerful figure. Building on recent scholarship that rethinks
irregularity and non-citizenship, her conclusions have broad
implications for how we understand irregular migration from a
position of dialogue and solidarity.
