Winner of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology
Christine M Alder Book Prize 2013Controlling border crossing has
become an urgent concern under conditions of globalization, leading
Western governments to introduce increasingly coercive control
measures. Far from eradicating spontaneous border crossing, this
defensive geography has fuelled illicit people-smuggling markets,
and forced asylum seekers and illegalized travellers into
increasingly hazardous journeys. Drawing on data from official
sources, media reports and lists of deaths collated by
non-governmental organizations in Europe, Australia and North
America, this book draws direct parallels between the border
control policies adopted across the Global North, and a mounting
death toll of illegalized border crossers. It analyses the
political and material conditions driving contemporary border
control policies and discusses the processes that mediate popular
and official understandings of border-related fatalities. In
seeking to account for, rather than merely count, border-related
deaths the book is intended to shift the debate about contemporary
border controls towards the acceptance of a more mobility-tolerant
future.
