Reclaiming migration critically assesses the EU's migration policy
by presenting the unheard voices of the so-called migrant crisis.
It undertakes an extensive analysis of a counter-archive of
migratory testimonies, co-produced with people on the move across
the Mediterranean during 2015 and 2016, to document how EU policy
developments create precarity on the part of those migrating under
perilous conditions. The book draws attention to the flawed
assumptions embedded within the policy agenda, while also exploring
the claims and demands for justice that are advanced by people on
the move. Written collectively by a team of esteemed scholars from
across multiple disciplines, Reclaiming migration makes an
important contribution to debates surrounding migration, borders,
postcolonialism and the politics of knowledge production. -- .
Irregular migration has emerged as an issue of intensive political
debate and governmental practice over recent years. Critically
intervening in debates around the governing of irregular migration,
The Contested Politics of Mobility explores the politics of
mobility through what is defined as an 'analytic of irregularity'.
It brings together authors who address issues of mobility and
irregularity from a range of distinct perspectives, to focus on the
politics of control as well as the politics of migration. The
volume develops an account of irregularity as a produced,
ambivalent and contested socio-political condition, showing how
this is activated through wide-ranging 'borderzones' that pull
between migration and control. Covering cases from across
contemporary North America and Europe and examining a range of
control mechanisms, such as biometrics, deportation and workplace
raiding, the volume refuses the term 'illegal' to describe
movements of people across borders. In so doing, it highlights the
complexity of relations between different regions and between a
politics of migration and a politics control, and makes a timely
intervention in the intersecting fields of critical citizenship,
migration and security studies. This book will be of interest to
students and scholars of politics, international relations,
sociology, migration and law.

This book is about homemaking in situations of migration and
displacement. It explores how homes are made, remade, lost,
revived, expanded and contracted through experiences of migration,
to ask what it means to make a home away from home. We draw
together a wide range of perspectives from across multiple
disciplines and contexts, which explore how old homes, lost homes,
and new homes connect and disconnect through processes of
homemaking. The volume asks: how do spaces of resettlement or
rehoming reflect both the continuation of old homes and distinct
new experiences? Based on collaborations with migrants, refugees,
practitioners and artists, this book centres the lived experiences,
testimonies, and negotiations of those who are displaced. The
volume generates appreciation of the tensions that emerge in
contexts of migration and displacement, as well as of the ways in
which racial categories and colonial legacies continue to shape
fields of lived experience.
Rejecting claims that migration is a crisis for Europe, this book
instead suggests that the 'migration crisis' reflects a more
fundamental breakdown of a modern European tradition of humanism.
Squire provides a detailed and broad-ranging analysis of the EU's
response to the 'crisis', highlighting the centrality of practices
of governing migration through death and precarity. Furthermore,
she unpacks a series of pro-migration activist interventions that
emerge from the lived experiences of those regularly confronting
the consequences of the EU's response. By showing how these advance
alternative horizons of solidarity and hope, Squire draws attention
to a renewed humanism that is grounded both in a deepened respect
for the lives and dignity of people on the move, and an
appreciation of longer histories of violence and dispossession.
This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers working
on migration in political science, international relations,
European studies, law and sociology.
