Drawing on the concept of the 'politics of compassion', this
Handbook interrogates the political, geopolitical, social and
anthropological processes which produce and govern borders and give
rise to contemporary border violence. Chapters map different
aspects of structural violence and mobilities in some of the
world's most contentious border zones, highlighting the forms and
practices that connect with labour exploitation, legal exclusion
and a severe absence of human rights. International
interdisciplinary contributors, including renowned sociologist
Saskia Sassen, draw attention to the forms and spaces of resistance
available to migrants and activists, contemplating how advocates
attempt to provide protection and human security to those subjected
to border violence. Offering empirical analyses of critical border
spaces, the book covers extensively the US-Mexico border region and
border zones around the Mediterranean. Border issues in South,
Central and North America, Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, the
Middle East, Central Africa and East and Central Asia are also
discussed. The Handbook thus provides a truly transnational
approach to borders and migration, demonstrating the dynamic but
asymmetric relationship between the social structure of border
enforcement and the human agency of migrants and global activists.
Combining theoretical insights into structural violence and human
rights with key case studies of border zones, this comprehensive
Handbook is crucial reading for scholars and researchers of social
and political science investigating human migration, the
humanitarian, border control and human rights. Its practical
insights will also benefit policy-makers involved in borders and
migration, as well as advocates and NGOs working with migrants and
refugees to create secure environments.
