Description
The Figure of the Migrant by Thomas Nail A new perspective on an old phenomenon, this book offers a fresh approach to understanding migration and its impact on politics. With the highest number of migrations in recorded history, the migrant has become a key figure in shaping our world. Nail's "kinopolitics" provides a unique framework for analyzing contemporary migration, drawing on historical conditions and figures such as the nomad, barbarian, and proletariat. By reinterpreting the history of political power from the perspective of movement, Nail offers valuable tools for understanding the complexities of modern migration.
