Connecting critical issues of state sovereignty with empirical
concerns, Borderscapes "interrogates the limits of political space.
The essays in this volume analyze everyday procedures, such as the
classifying of migrants and refugees, security in European and
American detention centers, and the DNA sampling of migrants in
Thailand, showing the border as a moral construct rich with panic,
danger, and patriotism.
Conceptualizing such places as immigration detention camps and
refugee camps as areas of political contestation, this work
forcefully argues that borders and migration are, ultimately,
inextricable from questions of justice and its limits.
