Bold and insightful, this book provides a rich conceptual framework by which to study forced migration. Drawing on postcolonial scholarship and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), Estevez examines in impressive detail the necropolitical production and management of forced migration across Mexico, Latin American and the US. She highlights the importance of analysing the colonality of asylum in relation to processes of forced depopulation and lucrative death, to make a powerful argument about the structural and legal violence that constitutes forced migrants as disposable subjects. Ambitious in scope yet sensitive to lived experiences, this is a must read for scholars of migration as well as for critical thinkers at large. -- Vicki Squire, University of Warwick
