The Natural Border tells the recent history of Mediterranean rural
capitalism from the perspective of marginalized Black African farm
workers. Timothy Raeymaekers shows that in the context of global
supply chains and repressive border regimes, the book foregrounds
the fundamental racial hierarchies upon which agrarian production
and reproduction are based. Taking the example of the tomato—a
typical 'Made in Italy' commodity—Raeymaekers asks how political
boundaries are drawn around the land and the labor needed for its
production, what technologies of exclusion and inclusion enable
capitalist operations to take place in the Mediterranean agrarian
frontier, and which practices structure the allocation, use and
commodification of land and labor across the tomato chain. While
the mobile infrastructures that mobilize, channel, commodify and
segregate labor play a central role in the 'naturalization' of
racial segregation, they are also terrains of contestation and
power—and thus, as The Natural Border demonstrates, reflect the
tense socio-ecological transformation the Mediterranean border
space is going through today.
This edited volume aims to problematise and rethink the
contemporary European migrant crisis in the Central Mediterranean
through the lens of the Black Mediterranean. Bringing together
scholars working in geography, political theory, sociology, and
cultural studies, this volume takes the Black Mediterranean as a
starting point for asking and answering a set of crucial questions
about the racialized production of borders, bodies, and citizenship
in contemporary Europe: what is the role of borders in controlling
migrant flows from North Africa and the Middle East?; what is the
place for black bodies in the Central Mediterranean context?; what
is the relevance of the citizenship in reconsidering black
subjectivities in Europe? The volume will be divided into three
parts. After the introduction, which will provide an overview of
the theoretical framework and the individual contributions, Part I
focuses on the problem of borders, Part II features essays focused
on the body, and Part III is dedicated to citizenship.
This survey of various African and Asian conflicts examines
people's experiences on territorial borders and the ways they
affect political configurations. By focusing on individuals'
routines and daily life, these contributions treat borderland
dynamics as actual political units with their own actions and
outcomes.

This book discusses the radical transformation of eastern Congo's
political order in the context of apparent armed destruction and
state weakness. Looking beyond the dominant paradigms, the author
critically assesses the premises of this region's presumed collapse
into chaos. He traces violent rule patterns back to a tumultuous
history of extra-economic accumulation, armed rebellion and de
facto public authority in the margins of regional power plays.
Rather than curing the world's ills, the originality of this book
lies in its neat focus on cultural and economic uncertainty. It
answers the question of what institutional changes are the result
of strategies of daily risk management in an environment
characterised by violent competition over the right to govern.
