Borderscapes

<div> <p>Connecting critical issues of state sovereignty with empirical concerns Borderscapes interrogates the limits of political space. The essays in this volume analyze everyday procedures such as the classifying of migrants and refugees security in European and American detention centers and the DNA sampling of migrants in Thailand showing the border as a moral construct rich with panic danger and patriotism.</p> <p>Conceptualizing such places as immigration detention camps and refugee camps as areas of political contestation this work forcefully argues that borders and migration are ultimately inextricable from questions of justice and its limits.</p> <p>Contributors:  Didier Bigo Institut d'Études Politiques Paris; Karin Dean; Elspeth Guild U of Nijmegen; Emma Haddad; Alexander Horstmann U of Münster; Alice M.
