Controlling national borders has once again become a key concern of
contemporary states and a highly contentious issue in social and
political life. But controlling borders is about much more than
patrolling territorial boundaries at the edges of states: it now
comprises a multitude of practices that take place at different
levels, some at the edges of states and some in the local contexts
of everyday life - in workplaces, in hospitals, in schools - which,
taken together, construct, reproduce and contest borders and the
rights and obligations associated with belonging to a nation-state.
This book is a systematic exploration of the practices and
processes that now define state bordering and the role it plays in
national and global governance. Based on original research, it goes
well beyond traditional approaches to the study of migration and
racism, showing how these processes affect all members of society,
not just the marginalized others. The uncertainties arising from
these processes mean that more and more people find themselves
living in grey zones, excluded from any form of protection and
often denied basic human rights.
