Migrant Resistance in Contemporary EuropeAuthor(s): Maurice Stierl\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138576230, 978-1138576230\nSynopsis\nOver the past few years, increased unauthorised migrations into the territories of Europe have resulted in one of the most severe crises in the history of the European Union. Stierl explores migration and border struggles in contemporary Europe and the ways in which they animate, problematise, and transform the region and its political formation.\n\nThis volume follows public protests of migrant activists, less visible attempts of those on the move to irregularly subvert borders, as well as new solidarities and communities that emerge in interwoven struggles for the freedom of movement. Stierl offers a conceptualisation of migrant resistances as forces of animation through which European forms of border governance can be productively explored. As catalysts that set socio-politic.
