This book investigates the hostile environment and politics of
visceral and racial denigration which have characterised responses
to refugees and migrants within the UK and Europe in recent years.
The European 'migrant crisis' from 2015 onwards has been
characterised by an extremely intimidating atmosphere which denies
the basic humanity of refugees and migrants. Deep rooted in Western
Enlightenment trajectory, this racially-driven politics is linked
to the Western theories of scientific superiority which went on to
become the basis of eugenics and coloniality as part of modernity.
Focusing on the 'migrant crisis', Brexit, and the impacts of the
global pandemic, this book unpicks the waves of crises and neuroses
about the 'Other' in Europe and the UK. The chapters analyse the
rhetoric of camps, refrigerated death lorries, the notion of
channel crossings and 'accidental' drownings, the formation of
relationship with border architecture such as the razor wire, and
corporeal resistance in detention centres through hunger strike. In
examining such specific sites of rhetorical articulation, policy
formation, social imagination, and its incumbent visuality, the
chapters deconstruct the intersection of dominant ideologies,
power, knowledge paradigms (including the media) as part of the
public sphere and their combined re-mediation of the dispossessed
humans in the shores and borders of Europe. This important
interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to researchers of
migration, humanitarianism, geography, global development,
sociology and communication studies.
