Connects global migration with urban marginalization, exploring how
"race" maps onto place across the globe, state, and street In this
richly observed account of migrant shopkeepers in five cities in
the United Kingdom, Suzanne Hall examines the brutal contradictions
of sovereignty and capitalism in the formation of street
livelihoods in the urban margins. Hall locates The Migrant's
Paradox on streets in the far-flung parts of de-industrialized
peripheries, where jobs are hard to come by and the impacts of
historic state underinvestment are deeply felt. Drawing on hundreds
of in-person interviews on streets in Birmingham, Bristol,
Leicester, London, and Manchester, Hall brings together histories
of colonization with current forms of coloniality. Her six-year
project spans the combined impacts of the 2008 financial crisis,
austerity governance, punitive immigration laws and the Brexit
Referendum, and processes of state-sanctioned regeneration. She
incorporates the spaces of shops, conference halls, and planning
offices to capture how official border talk overlaps with everyday
formations of work and belonging on the street. Original and
ambitious, Hall's work complicates understandings of migrants,
demonstrating how migrant journeys and claims to space illuminate
the relations between global displacement and urban emplacement. In
articulating "a citizenship of the edge" as an adaptive and
audacious mode of belonging, she shows how sovereignty and
inequality are maintained and refuted.
