This volume traces the African ramifications of Europe's southern
border. While the Mediterranean Sea has become the main stage for
the current play and tragedy between European borders and African
migrants, Europe's southern border has also been "offshored" to
Africa, mainly through cooperation agreements with countries of
transit and origin. By bringing into conversation case studies from
different countries and disciplines, this volume seeks to open a
window on the backstage of this externalization of borders. It
casts light on the sites - from consulates to open seas and deserts
- in which Europe's southern border is made and unmade as an
African reality, yielding what the editors call "EurAfrican
borders." It further describes the multiple actors - state agents,
migrants, smugglers, activists, etc. - that variously imagine,
construct, cross or contest these borders, and situates their
encounters within the history of uneven exchanges between Africa
and Europe.
