Contemporary Western societies are increasingly geared towards the production of immigrant illegality. This book examines these processes and outlines how the figure of the "crimmigrant other" has emerged not only as a central object of media and political discourse, but also as a distinct penal subject connecting migration and the logic of criminalization and insecurity. Illegality defines not only a quality of certain acts, but becomes an existential condition, which shapes the daily lives of large groups within the society. Drawing on rich empirical material from national and international contexts, Katja Franko outlines the social production of the crimmigrant other as a multi-layered phenomenon that is deeply rooted in the intricate connections between law, scientific knowledge, bureaucratic practices, politics and popular discourse

Rising levels of global inequality and migrant flows are both critical global challenges. Set within the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia, 'Going Nowhere Fast' sets out to answer a question of global importance: how does inequality persist in our increasingly mobile world? 0Inequality is often referred to as the greatest threat to democracy, society, and economy, and yet opportunity has apparently never been more accessible. Long and short distance transport - from motorbikes to aeroplanes - are available to more people than ever before and telecommunications have transformed our lives, ushering in an era of translocality in which the behaviour of people and communities is influenced from hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. Yet amidst these complex flows of people, ideas, and capital, persistent inequality cuts a jarringly static figure. Going Nowhere Fast brings together a decade of research to examine this uneven development in Cambodia, making a case for inequality as a 'total social fact' rather than an economic phenomenon, in which stories, stigma, obligation and assets combine to lock social structures in place.0'Going Nowhere Fast: Inequality in the Age of Translocality' speaks from an in-depth perspective to an issue of global relevance: how inequality persists in our hypermobile world. Focusing on pressing issues in Cambodia that resonate beyond, it investigates how human movement within and across the nation's borders are intertwined with societal threats and challenges, including of precarious labour and agricultural livelihoods; climate and environmental change; the phenomenon of land grabbing; and the rise of popular nationalism. "Set within the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia, this book sets out to answer a question of global importance: how does inequality persist in our increasingly mobile world? This is a pressing issue. From Barack Obama to the Pope, inequality is often referred to as the greatest threat to democracy, society and economy, yet opportunity has apparently never been more accessible. Long and short distance transport - from motorbikes to aeroplanes - are available to more people than ever before. What's more, in an era some call the "age of migration", physical mobility tells only part of the story. Telecommunications have transformed our lives, ushering in an era of translocality, in which the behaviour of people and communities is influenced from hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. Yet amidst these complex flows of people, ideas and capital, persistent inequality cuts a jarringly static figure. The worst off all too often remain impervious to the winds of economic dynamism, whilst those who were better off in one place remain so in another. Nevertheless, this age-old story presents a far from simple picture. The vast economic successes of India and China have redrawn the map of global poverty in recent decades and whilst inequality between countries has declined, inequality within countries is on the rise. Scale, in other words, is important. Eschewing the cross-sectional analysis employed in others on the topic of inequality, this book employs a deep dive approach to its subject. Bringing together a decade of research across spatially linked methodologies, its eight chapters cast a forensic eye over the many facets of uneven development in Cambodia. Using this toolbox of data, it will make a case for inequality not as an economic phenomenon, but as a "total social fact" in which stories, stigma, obligation and assets combine to lock social structures in place"--

This book mobilises an abolitionist approach to contemporary borders, combining critical migration scholarship and carceral abolitionism literature. It argues that a critique of borders involves rethinking the right to mobility as part of processes of commoning

Que faire du mélange de colère et de mélancolie que suscite en nous le traitement réservé aux migrants, cette humanité précarisée, avec tout ce qu’il peut avoir de paralysant, de sidérant ? S’appuyant sur diverses expériences et sur une analyse nourrie de ses lectures, Marielle Macé tente d’opérer un retournement. Elle oppose à la sidération la considération, qui n’exclut pas la compassion, ni la lutte. Tout en approfondissant le sens de ce mot, elle nous invite à risquer d’autres formes d’écriture politique de l’hospitalité.

Children today are growing up in a world of global media, in which the voices of many cultures compete for attention. Increasing numbers of children are also citizens of the globe: they live in multicultural societies, many have migrated themselves and live within active diasporic and transnational networks. The authors offer a fresh perspective on the relationships between media, globalisation and contemporary childhood.
