Border thinking

More about the book

This volume investigates current border issues in Europe, focusing on the refugee crisis as a manifestation of global Western capitalism, including modernization, nationalism, structural racism, dispossession, and various forms of violence. It connects these concepts to borders, which, while seemingly diminished in the global neoliberal economy, are resurfacing through deportations, segregation, and conflict. The text prompts readers to explore how to think about these relationships beyond traditional borders and whether a radical transformation of societal and political frameworks is achievable. It advocates for a reimagining of possibilities in social, political, artistic, and cultural realms. Contributions from various authors provide diverse perspectives on these pressing issues, encouraging a collective reconsideration of the state of affairs and the potential for revolutionary change.
