Summary:
"In
Border
and
Rule
, one of North America's foremost thinkers and immigrant rights organizers delivers an unflinching examination of
migration
as a pillar of
global
governance and gendered racial class formation. Harsha Walia disrupts easy explanations for the migrant and refugee crises, instead showing them to be the inevitable outcomes of the conquest, capitalist globalization, and climate change that are generating mass dispossession worldwide.
Border
and
Rule
explores a number of seemingly disparate
global
geographies with shared logics of
border
rule
that displace, immobilize, criminalize, exploit, and expel migrants and refugees. With her keen ability to connect the dots, Walia demonstrates how borders divide the international working class and consolidate imperial, capitalist, and
racist
nationalist
rule
. Ambitious in scope and internationalist in orientation,
Border
and
Rule
breaks through American exceptionalist and liberal responses to the
migration
crisis and cogently maps the lucrative connections between state violence,
capitalism
, and right-wing
nationalism
around the world. Illuminating the brutal mechanics of state formation, Walia exposes US
border
policy as a product of violent territorial expansion, settler-colonialism, enslavement, and gendered racial ideology. Further, she compellingly details how Fortress Europe and White Australia are using immigration diplomacy and externalized borders to maintain a colonial present, how temporary labor
migration
in the Arab Gulf states and Canada is central to citizenship regulation and labor control, and how racial violence is escalating deadly
nationalism
in the US, Israel, India, the Philippines, Brazil, and across Europe, while producing a disaster of statelessness for millions elsewhere.A must-read in these difficult times of war, inequality, climate change, and
global
health crisis,
Border
and
Rule
is a clarion call for revolution. The book includes a foreword from renowned scholar Robin D. G. Kelley and an afterword from acclaimed activist-academic Nick Estes."--Publisher.
