This book provides new ethnographic perspectives on the
intersections between deportation, anxiety, and justice. As an
instrument for controlling international migration, deportation
policies may be justified by public authorities as measures
responding to anxieties over (unregulated) migration. At the same
time, they also bring out uncertainty and unrest to deportable and
deported migrants as well as to their social and institutional
environments, in which this act of the state may appear deeply
unjust. Providing new and complementary insights into what
'deportation' as a legal and policy measure actually embraces in
social reality, this book argues for an understanding of
deportation as a process that begins long before (and carries on
long after) the removal from one country to another has taken
place. It provides a transnational perspective over the
'deportation corridor', covering different places, sites, actors,
and institutions. Most importantly, it reasserts the emotional and
normative elements inherent to contemporary deportation policies
and practices, emphasising the interplay between deportation,
perceptions of justice, and national, institutional, and personal
anxieties. Written by leading experts in the field, the
contributions cover a broad spectrum of geographical sites,
deportation practices, and perspectives, bringing together a long
overdue addition to the current scholarship on deportation studies.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
