This book offers a much-needed new political theory of an old
phenomenon. The last decade alone has marked the highest number of
migrations in recorded history. Constrained by environmental,
economic, and political instability, scores of people are on the
move. But other sorts of changes-from global tourism to
undocumented labor-have led to the fact that to some extent, we are
all becoming migrants. The migrant has become the political figure
of our time. Rather than viewing migration as the exception to the
rule of political fixity and citizenship, Thomas Nail reinterprets
the history of political power from the perspective of the movement
that defines the migrant in the first place. Applying his
"kinopolitics" to several major historical conditions (territorial,
political, juridical, and economic) and figures of migration (the
nomad, the barbarian, the vagabond, and the proletariat), he
provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary migration.
