"While enriching insights into current European border studies, these perspectives prompt theoretical insights into migration, refugees, and borders on a global scale. . . . Recommended." — B. Osborne, Choice

“To immerse yourself in [The Borders of “Europe”] is to give timely reflection during a tumultuous time in migration studies, and reminds us that we can yet change course.” — Paul Clewett, London School of Economics Review of Books

“A great methodological contribution that challenges and changes the ways in which Europe, migration and borders are thought about and analyzed. . . . What is most remarkable is that the contributors to the volume did an amazing job in firmly grounding their sophisticated theoretical analysis in rigorous fieldwork.” — Özden Ocak, Europe Now Journal

"This collection of original research provides a rich and valuable addition to the literature on migration and borders in contemporary Europe. The Borders of 'Europe' will be of interest to scholars and students working on migration issues in Europe and beyond." — John Solomos, Ethnic and Racial Studies

"Insightful. . . . Nicholas De Genova’s edited collection is an impeccable addition to migration literature in a transdisciplinary and critical way." — Ali Bilgic, Journal of Contemporary European Studies

“Developing an original and innovative approach to the study of migration to Europe, this volume promises to be a key text in the fields of refugee and migration studies, border studies, European studies, as well as studies of technology and governmentality. A brilliant and timely book.” — Yael Navaro, author of, The Make-Believe Space: Affective Geography in a Postwar Polity

"This compelling, illuminating book puts matters of migration and borders at the center of debates regarding what (and where) Europe is and should be, while raising powerful questions on associated issues of race and the colonial-like relations that scar the contemporary world. Myriad forms of violence, particularly the growing global death toll among illegalized people ‘on the move’—with Europe at its grisly epicenter—make The Borders of "Europe" necessary and timely. In deeply interrogating mobility, increasing state efforts to exclude those officially deemed as unwanted, and the refusal of so many to submit to them, the volume speaks to matters and an audience far beyond Europe. This is a book of truly global importance." — Joseph Nevins, author of, Operation Gatekeeper and Beyond: The War on “Illegals” and the Remaking of the U.S.-Mexico Boundary
