Description
Humanitarian Borders: Unequal Mobility and Saving Lives
This book interrogates the politics of humanitarian responses to border violence and unequal mobility, arguing that such responses mask underlying injustices and bolster liberal and paternalist approaches to suffering.
Based on eight years of research with various actors involved in humanitarian assistance, including border police, EU officials, professional humanitarians, and grassroots activists, the book draws a direct line between privileges of movement and global inequalities rooted in colonial histories and white supremacy.
