Migrations and Border Processes: Practices and Politics of
Belonging and Exclusion in Europe from the Nineteenth to the
Twenty-First Century brings together scholars from history,
sociology and anthropology to explore cross-boundary mobility and
migration during the formation, development, and transformation of
the modern (nation-)state explicating the conflictive and
fluctuating character of borders. Current media images of a
"fortress Europe" suggest that migrations and borders are closely
connected. The historical perspective demonstrates that such
bordering processes are not new. However, they have developed new
dynamics in different historical phases, from the formation of the
modern (nation-)state in the nineteenth century to the creation of
the European Union during the second half of the twentieth century.
This book explains the dynamic relationships between borders and
migratory movements in Europe from the nineteenth century to the
present by approaching them from four different, overlapping
angles: (1) the multiple actors involved, (2) scales and places of
borders and their crossings, (3) the instruments and techniques
employed and (4) the significance of social categories. Focusing on
the historical, local specificity of the complex relations between
migrations and boundaries will help denaturalize the concept of the
border as well as further reflection on the shifting definitions of
migration and belonging. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Borderlands Studies.
