Reviews

'Lorena Gazzotti's book offers a thorough analysis of the quickly evolving migration, aid. and development-humanitarian industry in Morocco. Building on a vast literature and extensive fieldwork, it also leads us towards the less explored aspects of Morocco's migration policies.' Nora El Qadim, University of Paris 8 'Gazzotti's ethnography reveals the surprising ways that humanitarian agencies ostensibly serving migrants in Morocco knowingly or unwittingly support the interests of the EU in keeping migrants out. Her cutting analysis lays bare the messy relationship between care and control, and how power is quietly deployed behind militarised border spectacles.' David Scott FitzGerald, University of California, San Diego 'By bringing insights from critical theory, migration studies, and humanitarian assistance literature, Lorena Gazzotti presents a novel account of the complexities of aid industry, and a detailed analysis of its facilitating role in the intricacies of migration control in Morocco.' Asli Ilgit, Cukurova University 'Immigration Nation brings everyday life into the analysis of the profound transformations that characterise migration policies and practice in Morocco. A crucial read in understanding the interplay of migration control, diplomacy, international organisations, aid, and the ways in which they affect migrants' lives on the ground.' Federica Infantino, European University Institute
