'This conceptually vivid book refreshes our vision. We can see how vulnerable people combine, innovate, and revise what they do to make geography from below. There, at the margins, is life in rehearsal' -- Ruth Wilson Gilmore, author of 'Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation' 'At last, an urgent and brilliant collection of histories 'from below', about the people and goods transgressing the borders of global capitalism. The world economy will never look quite the same’ -- Marcus Rediker, co-author of 'The Many-Headed Hydra: The Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic' 'Tells amazing stories from the ground of how people negotiate with borders, state, local officials and carry on lives in the midst of everyday border violence. There is no morality play here. Migration, clandestine existence and illegal activities like smuggling - these are not acts to be found in some independent criminal universe. These are part of society's subterranean life' -- Ranabir Samaddar, Distinguished Chair in Migration and Forced Migration Studies at the Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group
