Border walls, shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, separated families
at the border, island detention camps: migration is at the centre
of contemporary political and academic debates. This
ground-breaking Handbook offers an exciting and original analysis
of critical research on themes such as these, drawing on
cutting-edge theories from an interdisciplinary and international
group of leading scholars. With a focus on spatial analysis and
geographical context, this volume highlights a range of
theoretical, methodological and regional approaches to migration
research, while remaining attuned to the underlying politics that
bring critical scholars together. Divided into six thematic
sections, including new areas in critical migration research, the
book covers the key questions galvanizing migration scholars today,
such as issues surrounding refugees and border militarization. Each
chapter explores new themes, expanding on core theories to convey
fresh insight to contemporary research. A key resource for
migration, refugee and border studies this Handbook provides an
in-depth analysis of the topic, covering a vast array of research
ideas with a specific focus on the geographical aspects of
migration. Scholars working on migration, refugees, asylum,
transnationalism, humanitarianism and borders will find this an
invaluable read. Contributors: J. Allsopp, I. Atac, N. Bagheri, A.

Engendering Development demonstrates how gender is a form of
inequality that is used to generate global capitalist development.
It charts the histories of gender, race, class, sexuality and
nationality as categories of inequality under imperialism, which
continue to support the accumulation of capital in the global
economy today. The textbook draws on feminist and critical
development scholarship to provide insightful ways of understanding
and critiquing capitalist economic trajectories by focusing on the
way development is enacted and protested by men and women. It
incorporates analyses of the lived experiences in the global north
and south in place-specific ways. Taking a broad perspective on
development, Engendering Development draws on textured case studies
from the authors' research and the work of geographers and feminist
scholars. The cases demonstrate how gendered, raced and classed
subjects have been enrolled in global capitalism, and how
individuals and communities resist, embrace and rework development
efforts. This textbook starts from an understanding of development
as global capitalism that perpetuates and benefits from gendered,
raced and classed hierarchies. The book will prove to be useful to
advanced undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in courses on
development through its critical approach to development conveyed
with straightforward arguments, detailed case studies, accessible
writing and a problem-solving approach based on lived experiences.

The 2001 invasion of Afghanistan by United States and coalition
forces was followed by a flood of aid and development dollars and
"experts" representing well over two thousand organisations-each
with separate policy initiatives, geopolitical agendas, and
socioeconomic interests. This book examines the everyday actions of
people associated with this international effort, with a special
emphasis on small players: individuals and groups who charted
alternative paths outside the existing networks of aid and
development. This focus highlights the complexities, complications,
and contradictions at the intersection of the everyday and the
geopolitical, showing how dominant geopolitical narratives
influence daily life in places like Afghanistan-and what happens
when the goals of aid workers or the needs of aid recipients do not
fit the narrative. Specifically, this book examines the use of
gender, "need," and grief as drivers for both common and
exceptional responses to geopolitical interventions. Throughout
this work, Jennifer L. Fluri and Rachel Lehr describe intimate
encounters at a microscale to complicate and dispute the ways in
which Afghans and their country have been imagined, described,
fetishized, politicized, vilified, and rescued. The authors
identify the ways in which Afghan men and women have been narrowly
categorized as perpetrators and victims, respectively. They discuss
several projects to show how gender and grief became forms of
currency that were exchanged for different social, economic, and
political opportunities. Such entanglements suggest the power and
influence of the United States while illustrating the ways in which
individuals and groups have attempted to chart alternative avenues
of interaction, intervention, and interpretation.
