Migrant Protest and Democratic States of Exception

Migrant protest is attracting growing interest making this book both topical and leading edge. Arnold conceptualises sovereignty as a relationship and in doing so opens new ways of thinking about constituting the people, resistance and the relationship between the state, the nation and the migrant/non-citizen. The struggles of the immigrants themselves through strategies of self-harming and faith-based sanctuary are rarely treated in the context of immigration politics specifically, and they are rarely the focus of a single scholarly book (often, they are treated as an isolated chapter or passing moment in the course of a longer discussion). Clear, rigorous, and demonstrates a solid acquaintance with a) the empirical literature on migration politics, and b) the philosophical/theoretical literature on political agency and sovereignty. Pushes to make political theory relevant as a field and illuminates political issues in new ways. Arnold is an excellent scholar Geographically, the book will appeal to the North American and Australian market since there are extended case studies of immigrant activism both countries.
