This book looks at how Europe's refugee crisis has provoked
different political and humanitarian responses, all similarly
driven by technology. The author first explores the transformation
of Europe into an increasingly militarised space, where
technologies are mainly used to exercise surveillance and to
distinguish between citizens and unwanted migrants. She then shifts
the attention to refugees' practices of connectivity by looking at
how technologies are used by refugees to communicate, perform and
resist their exile. Finally, the book examines the opportunities
and challenges that characterise the impact of digital social
innovation in humanitarian settings. By focusing on how
technologies are used to promote solidarity in crisis contexts, the
volume provides an original contribution to studying the role of
tech for good activism within the space of Fortress Europe. Based
on interviews with refugees, digital humanitarians and social
entrepreneurs, the book timely questions what Europe means today,
and why dialogue is now more important than ever.
