Overview
Uncovers multiple dimensions of the technoscientific mechanisms of control of immigration and re-reads them through the prism of the 2008 crisis
Juxtaposes the lived experience of migration, i.e. the body against the border, with and its narrative/discourse in the form of a geneaology of crisis
Draws on several theoretical traditions to decide whether the current migration crisis is in fact a crisis or something endemic to capitalism

About this book
Reviews
“Through a sharp examination of the so-called 2015 refugee crisis and the 2007 financial crisis, this outstanding volume makes a crucial contribution to studies of the government of migration and politics of crisis in today’s Europe. It strikingly illuminates what is at stake in thinking these together and, in doing so, brings out genealogies of capitalism and bordering in Europe.” (Céline Cantat, Research Fellow, Central European University)
“By skillfully combining philosophical and political perspectives, this book’s main merit lies in its radical deconstruction of neoliberal discourse and its rhetoric of the crisis. It is, thus, an essential theoretical tool to see and understand Europe’s dark side that tends to become a landscape of control and de-humanization, whose borders embody the last frontier of exploitation and domination.” (Monia Cappuccini, author of Austerity and Democracy in Athens: Crisis and Community in Exarchia, Palgrave Macmillan)
