Reviews

""As migrations--often forced by violence--have increased in recent years, and as border policing--fueled by nationalist discourses--has become harsher, local forms of solidarity have blossomed in many places. It is this little-studied resistance to states' repression that Berna Turam's multi-sited research illuminates through vivid depictions and scrupulous analysis."" --Didier Fassin, co-author of Exile: Chronicle of the Border ""Exuding passion and care, this rich ethnographic study provides comparative insights into migrant solidarities in Athens and Palermo and sheds important light on the role of emotions in everyday (geo)politics."" --Vicki Squire, author of Europe's Migration Crisis: Border Deaths and Human Dignity ""From Athens to Palermo, Berna Turam takes the reader on a journey to the front lines of resistance to Europe's racial borders. Deeply researched and artfully written, The Geopolitics of Fear shows how everyday solidarity work can contest violence at the border."" --Reece Jones, author of White Borders: The History of Race and Immigration in the United States from Chinese Exclusion to the Border Wall
