Reviews
Words of poets ... sounds, images draw lines of flight ... opening new angles on diaspora studies as well as on the politics of borders and mobility. - Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna, Italy A remarkable work of scholarship ... beautifully written; makes a highly original and ethical argument that deserves the widest dissemination. - Sankaran Krishna, University of Hawai?i at Manoa, USA With poetic prose and keen analysis, the book shows us that the refugee and migrant are not only mobile subjects; tracing their fraught passage also complicates, disorients and troubles the question of the subject itself ... [T]he subject struggles for shore, then slips from view, only to remerge; each time constituted by and struggling with trajectories of power and knowledge that are both new and not. - Vasuki Nesiah, New York University, USA.
