This book examines both border policies and oppositional narratives
of "the border," 2011-2021, demonstrating that the term designates
not merely a line of territorial control but also a set of social
relations shaped by persistent, racially differentiated colonial
structures and, more recently, by neoliberal modes of accumulation.
These relations are shown to determine access to wealth and/or
resources and to enable the management of labor, the extraction of
surplus, and the accumulation of capital. Discussion in the book is
informed by the history of these policies and by the critical
literature on borders. Various cultural texts focusing on two
border zones-the US-Mexico and the EU-Southern Mediterranean-are
analyzed: specifically, two novels, two films, and two murals
examined in conjunction with a music video. A path to a borderless
future is suggested: an abolitionist refusal of border rules with
an insistence on the necessity of abolition.
